I missed that on the news Sally, that is so sad. I have had the families in my prayers and will continue to pray for them.

Sally, this is just so sad. I was so hopefull that they would be saved. Prayers to all those connected and affected by this incident. Helen

Sally, I've been listening to the reports all afternoon - absolutely devastating to lose so many men in one mining tragedy. I think we were all hoping that they would be rescued like the Chilean miners.

We must keep all those families from Greymouth in our prayers, they are going to have a tough time - I would imagine it is a tight knit community. We visited Greymouth a couple of years ago and it was very quaint. Love and blessings Chris

So very sad. My thoughts are with the families at this time.

I hate to hear this...I had been praying for another miracle like the one last month, but now 29 are dead...so sad.....Sally the families will be on our church prayer list tonight.....

They are in my Prayers!

my thoughts & prayers are with the families.

They have been in my thoughts and prayers. We need to keep the remaining miners and all the mining families in prayer. This will be a very long and difficult time for them all.

Hugs and prayers - we don't really know what the families are going thru - no happy ending like San Jose

Hugs and prayers.

It has been on the national news in the UK. One cannot but feel deeply for their families and friends

It is always so tragic no matter where in the world it happens, mothers lose sons, wives lose husbands, children lose fathers & if women were working then their lives lost causes grief. They all need our prayers & us to care.

This is such a tragedy. I am praying for the families, friends and all the miners that God will be near them and comfort them. This will be a terrible impact on that community. Hugs, Mary

This is so sad, we're praying for all affected. Hope others are doing the same.

This is so tragic we should all pray for them & there families. Arlene

yes a tragedy that will affect their community forever. We will all pray for them.

Thankyou for your thoughts and prayers.

While I don't live in the nearby area, I think it is affecting us nationwide. We are quite a small country and this is a huge number of lives to lose in one incident.

29 flowers are now in Heaven, or less as I'm praying for a very slim chance of a miracle. *4u all
