EDITORIAL: Remembering the 161 victims of the 2011 tornado
May 20—It will be an emotional weekend for so many in the Joplin area as we prepare to mark the 12th anniversary of the May 22, 2011, tornado on Monday.
For many residents, this weekend is a time of grief and sorrow, of anxiety and nerves.
May you be comforted by your memories and by those who are still with us, and may Monday, May 22, pass with quiet peace.
To the 161: We remember you.
