This past week has been an extremely hard one for those who live in Middle Tennessee. Putnam County experienced an EF-4 tornado in the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 3rd killing 18 people and leaving many people without their homes. We are amazed by the support of our community and outpouring of love and support that has been shown during this incredibly difficult time.
