Federal, state leaders salute Joplin’s recovery

A deadly May twister may have punched a hole in Joplin and Duquesne two years ago, but the resolve to repair it will help other communities stand strong when they face similar disasters. That was the message of state and national diginitaries to a crowd of about 2,500 who observed the second anniversary of Joplin’s devastating May 22, 2011, storm during a ceremony Wednesday in Cunningham Park.

JOPLIN, MO — In loving memory of Blaine J. (B.J.) Scofield

Feb. 2, 1983 - Nov. 24, 2010

B.J. It's been two years. Seasons have come and gone. Life has brought many changes. But, the one thing that is the same is the constant pain of you absence.

Oh, how we miss your laughter, your silly antics, your gentle strength and those hugs.

The ducks fly over, the deer are in the fields and we know that you are near.

Not a day goes by that we don't think of you and mention your name. So, B.J. know that you are loved so very deeply and missed so very much.

Always - your family
