To the Editor:

On July 1, my  home and all my personal belongings burned in a house fire, the property surrounding the home along with it.

The amount of damage, I cannot surmise what that might be. One thing for sure, most can be replaced in time. Except for the loss of family heritage — photos, diaries and hand me downs from generations.

Upon losing most of my life, I finally discovered that the material things were not that important. What was important were the fine people who came to help me when I was down.

You know who you are and are appreciated.
