Prayers for the West Virginia coal miners and their families...

Coal mining is such a dangerous job, my prayers go out for the families.

Dear God, please look after those people and ease their suffering.

My thoughts and prayers are added as well. There are a couple of coal miners that live in our neighborhood although not from this specific mine. They came home yesterday evening with tears streaking through their coal dusted faces.

We are praying here. We live in the northern panhandle.

My heart and prayers go out to the poor workmen and families of all those lost and the 4 other families waiting and hoping for a miracle. I can't begin to imagine their pain and grief. I read that Willingham, who had mined for 30 years, was just five weeks from retiring and planned to take his wife on a cruise to the Virgin Islands next month.
May these brave souls RIP.

One of them grew up very close to where I did.

I live in the Eastern Panhandle of WV. I have been glued to the news channels watching for any info on it. My Dad worked for the mining association in D.C and giot to know some of the mine owners(don't know if he knew this one) It's always a painful time for everyone when something like this happens
