I would like to take a minute to show our appreciation for all of the help the community provided during the difficult time of our burned-out families, which include Hanna Cain, David and Carrie Browning, and Yetta Dawn Layne.

A special thank you goes to the following: Perry Township and all responding firefighters; the American Red Cross; Big Sandy Furniture; Professional Carpet; Target; Food Fair; South Point Athletics; area churches; other residents of Lawrence Commons; and family, friends and neighbors.

A big thank you to all who helped.
