Oh, Loretta....so very sad. I guess it's better to be prepared in knowing, than to just drive back and find it,but amazing how you can pinpoint it. I am just crying for the kids.

Loretta, this is so devastating! (((Hugs))) for all. Just find it so hard to comprehend all the flooding in the east and we are so dry.

Loretta I had to stop over here and also say how saddened and sorry to hear your kids lost their home in the fire. I am glad they are OK physically but we know this is a tough blow and they have a rough road ahead of them. I wish the weather and living conditions in TX would improve.

OMG...looks like it was a beautiful house and property.
I feel so sorry for Sherri, being without hubby while all this has happened...she needs him to grieve with.
Wonder if they will rebuild there or elsewhere?

Prayers for them to be able to quickly pull their lives back together...and for you too.Know that you are heartsick for them♥

Well now since more town or community meetings. Loretta you have told us on the blog 9/10 for now what Sherry and Jimmy's plans are. I am still very saddened for what feelings of loss Sherry will still have to go through in time. Glad they have a place to stay.
I have to continue to keep them in prayer and other families too.
