“That’s when I think it will hit me.”Ĭarl Hogan, 60, was “incredibly devoted” to his wife of 41 years, and he was looking forward to getting her back home in Dawson Springs, Kentucky, following a stay in a hospital and nursing home that began in February, said daughter Katie Fields, who lived only a mile or so from her father. “I don’t know how it’s going to feel the day when I don’t come up here and look for something,” he said. He said he found his mom’s purse with cash she had taken out of the bank to hand out at Christmas. She recalled that Hall would pick her grandson up from school even when he was old enough to walk home himself and the day was nice because she did not want anything to happen to him.Ĭummins has been sifting through the debris at the home, keeping anything he finds intact - a doorknob, a key. Recent health problems had limited Grisham’s mobility, and Beshear Sewell said she’s convinced Hall decided not to leave her and seek shelter elsewhere. “It could be that grandmother is in a wheelchair and when they show up we’re going to have to do this and that. Grisham had also worked there in the past as had the sisters’ mother.īeshear Sewell, who owned the funeral home, said Hall was always thinking about what a family would need.
Hall was still working at a funeral home, where she arranged flowers and assisted grieving families. “She said, ‘I love you.’ She texted each of my siblings and said she loved them.”Ĭummins said he texted later but didn’t hear back. “She said, ‘I cleaned out the closet in case I need to get in there.’” Cummins recalled. On the day of the storm, he added that they should “watch the weather.” He was tracking the storm on Facebook that night and told Hall to get Grisham and get in the hallway. They were best friends.”Ĭummins said he texted his aunt and mother “good morning” and told them he loved them every day. “They really just took care of each other,” said Cummins, 43. They were there together Friday night when a tornado approached and ripped through the house, killing both of them. They were often in each other’s company and had lived in the same home for years, according to Hall’s son, Jason Cummins. Siblings Marsha Hall, 72, and Carole Grisham, 80, were referred to as “the sisters” around Dawson Springs, Kentucky, friend Jenny Beshear Sewell said. “We would just have a really good time,” she said.
