    This is the mother of the small child that was burned. I’m happy to say that he is healing up well. Thank you for the kind words

    Wow, after two days, not a single comment. So I’ll get this started.

    Condolences to the family in this time of loss. House fires are so, so devastating.

    Is there anyone from the family that could provide information about how to help? Is there a fund set up in a local financial institution if help is needed?
