Thank God for miracles like a safe family. As others have said, things are replacable- people are not. Jack, you will be in our prayers.

Jeez, just sent Jack an email, then checked WIX and saw this!. Glad 'most' of the family made it out, hopefully insurance will cover some of the cost?

Jack,

I got word tonight of your loss on a long trip, and although it might sound silly, I have never wanted to get to a computer so badly. My thoughts and most heartfelt prayers are with you and your family. I wish that there was something I could say or do to help. Your loss is tremendous. Please know, that at least in part it is shared by all of us here as well. It makes me heartsick for you.

I don't want it to sound cliche or over said, but please please do not hesitate to let me know if there is anything that I can do for you and your family. My thoughts are with you all.

Stephanie

Very sorry to hear about this. My thoughts are with him and his family. House fires scare the hell out of me now that I've got kids. I wish him and his family a speedy recovery.

Ok, so who's going to take the lead on this? We are a huge group and Jack has contributed so much. Tragedy that we may have lost a treasure of photos but they are nothing without Jack and his loved ones.

Cash, computers, what do we need? And as a pet lover, I know what you must be going through.

Scotty, is this yours to coordinate? If not, we need someone and a PayPal fund???

Let's take care of our own.

Please let us know.

Our thoughts and prayers, my friend!

Scott Dennison

I've got to echo everyone's comments about how terrible this news is. I know the loss of Jack's pets are probably the worst, not to mention all of the personal items.

Scott, please PM or e-mail me regarding anything I can do to help you help him.

Gary

A fire is a terrible thing, and losing things dear to it makes it even worse.

Hope all's well with Jack!

If someone has a focal point for donations, gice me a holler!
