Inside Our Lady of Prompt Succor Church, February 1991, on Paris Rd. The church suffered…

A priest in white vestments stands beside a baptismal font as family members gather around, one holding an infant in white, with tall stained glass windows in the background.
Interior of a church with large stained glass windows in blue and yellow tones; a man in a plaid shirt lights a candle while another person stands nearby near the altar area.

Do You Know What it Means

Inside Our Lady of Prompt Succor Church, February 1991, on Paris Rd. The church suffered minimal roof damage during storm, but the stained glass is still intact. This is Phyllis' son's baptism.

Phyllis Peabody's family has been in New Orleans for generations. She has lived in the same house since 1968. All of the photos of her family from before 1968 were lost in her aunt's house. Phyllis lost all her photos that were taken after 2001. All photos between 1968 and 2001 were in storage and were saved. Before Katrina, all her family lived within walking distance of each other. Now everyone has scattered, each family member in a different state.
