House Fire

Havent been on here in a while...just wanted to let everyone know that my house burnt down 5 weeks ago and have been real busy with all that entails...Luckily no-one was home but it was a total loss...only fireplace and foundation remain...If I had a deal with you I'm sorry not much I can do right now but would appreciate your prayers and thoughts as me and my family recover from this...only pics I have of it are on cell phone and do not know how to post or use the hotels computer to do it

Re: House Fire

thats terrible fire is every home owners worst nightmare its ten fold when nothings left as compared to just a roof or room.
I'm glad too hear nobody was hurt. most Items can be replaced but people/loved ones cannot.
didnt you just move into that place a lil' while ago?

Re: House Fire

Wow! I can't believe it. How terrible? I hate fires. It's so weird,one day everything's fine,then nothing. We had talked not long ago about how nice it is in your area and how content you were with living there. Fire finds us everywhere. I shudder when I think about that happening here. Let me know if you need anything. I don't know what size clothes you wear,but I have some large shirts I could send (warm ones).
