Thank you anne. I am doing well, but sometimes I break down and cry when I hear fire trucks responding to a fire. I lost four kitties in that fire, and to me, it was like loosing a child.
I am curious too, Molino Mom… Any information on donations for the family? This is so sad, Prayers for them!
Fire is the worst thing in life! Prayers for this family to help them deal with their loss. At least they weren’t home at the time, a special blessing. Charlotte, I hope you are doing well now. My greatest memory in life is seeing my son walking toward me with his townhouse ablaze in the background at 2:00a.m. God’s gift to me, twice.
William,
Could you find out information on the family and let us know where we could maybe donate clothes and such for them?
Thank you!
“There were no injuries reported.” Not hard to understand, in my opinion.
It doesn’t say if anyone was hurt. I pray everyone got out alright. Most things can be replaced. People, no. Is the Red Cross or family helping them out or what?
This brings back horrible memories. My house went up and everything was gone in ten minutes. This happened about sixteen years ago, but the memories are still painful. Aluminium wiring was the cause. I would not wish the emotional roller coaster ride on my worse enemy. Praying that God will be with this family during this most difficult time.
