I wanted to say a huge thank you to the girls that put on the Prayer Vigil, it turned out great.  It was a very emotional day for us all in both the Lappegaard and Anderson families but we are so thankful to everyone who showed for the Vigil. There were around 150 - 200 people that came, everyone was very kind and we are so thankful for all their support.

We also are very thankful for Ray Kuznia, a deputy Sheriff from the TRF Sheriff's Dept..  He was he only one from Law Enforcement that showed at the Prayer Vigil that night, which is very discouraging to our family seeing that lack of support or compassion from our local PD.  The ones you need the most help from are the ones that are giving us the least.  Ray Kuznia has been with us since day one and if it wasnt for him most of the searching would not have been accomplished.  We are forever in debt to him and his family for all his personal time and commitment to our family.

There was beautiful music offering hope sang by Danielle Goulet Peterson and her husband, Lee Peterson, played Guitar.  Scripture was read with the hope that God is helping us through this by Gina's sister in laws Renay Anderson and Lisa Anderson and also by some close friends Erica Bradley, Janna Unbehaun.  Kelly Mitchell and her mom Carol Clark also helped arrange the Prayer Vigil and we are so thankful for all they did.

Pastor John Voelker from Trinity Lutheran Church said a prayer and was involved in the planning.  We ordered many Vigil candles and the left over candles (about 300 candles) were donated to Trinity Lutheran Church in TRF, MN for their Christmas Services.   We also were given donations of cookies from Hugos, Super Value and also a gift card from the Walmart in TRF, MN. The Eagles Club in TRF donated sandwiches and food for my parents house after the Vigil for family and close friends that came over afterwards.  We are so grateful for all the wonderful people, businesses and friends that have helped us through all this with everything.

Our future plans for right now is to continue our searches that our family and Ray Kuznia have planned before winter.  If help is needed we will let people know asap before the planned search.  We are going off leads and clues that have been given to us from different sources.  Some are disturbing and need to be looked into very carefully and there are some that we are not able to even look into because they involve the Red Lake Indian Reservation and we are not able to go on their without the PD, FBI or Federal Task Force.  We are basically at the mercy of someone coming forward with information and we pray to God that that happens very soon.  Someone knows something and if not, then Gina is out there somewhere and needs to be found so we are going to keep looking till we know otherwise.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support and compassion for my family.  I cant say it enough, Thank you.
