Members from the destroyed West Liberty United Methodist, First Baptist, Broadway First Church of God, Church of Christ and Christian churches were in attendance Sunday.

For decades, Rose W. May has been the musical heart and soul of the West Liberty United Methodist Church. A retired Morgan County English teacher, she has played graduations, baptisms, weddings and funerals. The March 2 tornado that ripped through town took her church, her house and her grand piano. It even took her sheet music. But it couldn't take her songs. Sunday, as members of several churches destroyed by the tornado gathered in an auditorium at Morehead State University's West Liberty campus, Rose May was there, pouring out the old hymns like balm on wounded souls.
