Goodnight dear friends and family. This is Jessica writing to you tonight.  We hope that you had a great Monday, and that everyone is back at home, safe and sound.

Our thoughts and prayers are with our friend Lisa Ball and her neighbors tonight. There was a fire that destroyed two homes right next to Lisa’s today. Thank God no one was hurt. The people who lived in those two homes are safe, and were not there at the time. Still they have lost all of their belongings, the place they come home to at night , and I’m sure many, many memories. We extend our deepest condolences for all that was lost for those families. We pray for them at this very difficult time, as they begin to rebuild.

This fire was moving fast, and scorched one side of a tree just feet from Lisa’s home. Just through the wall on the side, Lisa lives with her beautiful Pomeranian Nikki , who is absolutely adored by Lisa, and by all of us here. Both Lisa and Nikki are so important to me and my family. We truly love them both. We thank God that they are safe tonight, and uninjured. Things could have happened very differently, God forbid.  Life is inches and minutes , as my father used to say. I thank God that no one was hurt. I thank God that Lisa and Nikki are ok. We pray for their peace of mind and comfort, on the heels of such a frightening day. We send them so much love.

Goodnight Everyone. Love to all of you.

No lives will go in vain. No pain will go unnoticed.

Amen,
Love from,
Jessica Lee Smith,
For Sammy & Family
