Our daughter Lori's house burnt to the ground at 3:00 AM this
morning. But, we are certainly praising God that all 8 kids, Philip and Lori are all safe, even the
dog. All they got out with is their cell phone and their jammies they
were wearing. No shoes, coats nothing. The got everyone in the van for
safety and the neighbor came to get them. Right now everything is in
limbo. Their church, friends, family and neighbors are certainly rallying
around them. I would appreciate your prayers.

North Berrien Fire Department responded to a fully involved house fire
at 2:30am this morning. Firefighters worked on the scene for over 7
hours. The house was a total loss. We were assisted by Watervliet Fire Department , Keeler Twp Fire, and Sister Lakes Fire. Our hearts go out to the family of 10 that is displaced.

How heartbreaking. I'll keep your family in my prayers. So glad everyone is safe.
Oh, Joan, I am so sorry to hear this news. Thank God that the family is okay. I 1980, we lost our home, and my dear husband was burned over 80% of his body. We spent many months going through skin graft operations, etc. I am feeling your heartache, dear friend. Sending up prayers for your family. Hugs...
Joan, I am so sorry to hear of this tragedy, but thank God the family got out safely. In 1973 we lost my grandmother's home to fire. She was in the hospital recovering from a heart attack, but my uncle lost his life. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Joan: I am so sorry to hear that. My daughter also went through a house fire but managed to get the family out. The Red Cross was an incredible help to them. I pray for you and your family that God will be your source of strength through this difficult time. Blessings, Solange
Our thoughts and love are with you and your family. The family got out safe and that is most important. It must be very hard for the children. Yes, please let us know if we can help in any way.
So sorry...but material things can be replaced...lives cannot.They are very lucky all got out safely
But God..... I am really so sorry to hear of this sad news BUT God will provide. He always does and you know that. Praise God that everyone is safe and that they have friends and family that will be by their side during this grieving time. Yes they will still grieve but God will be there with them watching, holding and supplying them.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You have had some major life changing events lately. Take care of yourself so you can be of service to the others. God bless all of you.

So, so sorry to hear about the fire. Praise God that He got them to safety. The house can be rebuilt. One can't dwell on the past, so they will move on and do just fine. I am sure they are also praising God for keeping them all safe. Our prayers for all. Nancy from Bay City, MI
