Well first of all, I'm glad everybody is okay for the most part. Second, you can never ask for help too much, in my opinion. I'm praying for you and your family. Keep up your spirits!
you are In our prayers here too! I hope you get a fair shake from your insurance. and Im glad that your family are ok. just be glad you all got out. material things can be replaced God Bless Larry
Greg Really sorry to hear about your fire and really happy to hear that no one was badly hurt, after all your family is more important than all that stuff anyway. I know how you feel, I had a house I was living in burn, right to the foundation, all we had was the clothes we were wearing and the laundry we were in town doing. But no one was hurt and that's all that counted! And the insurance company, unless you have stated value they will probably want a list of your possesions. You'll be OK, in a year or so it'll just be a bad memory. GOD bless you and yours. Dave Berry
sorry to hear of your misfortune ...but as they say "could of been worse" and its good you have good people to help you out in the most times of need.. Prayers are with your family....
You and your family are in our prayers, Greg. Must have been a scary ordeal to go through. How did it happen, do you know? And who discovered it first? I'm glad you did a good job of getting everyone out. Take care, and keep us posted. Let us know if you need anything. Shari
Prayers lifted up. Glad everyone is ok. We had a fire back in 1986. Lost everything downstairs due to the fire and lost everything upstairs due to the smoke. Fortunately we had a detached garage so all the cars were ok. In the end everything was replaced and we were better than before - nonetheless I don't recommend this as a remodeling technique! Please feel free to send me an email or PM if you want to talk about it or have any questions. K
Greg, you and your family are definitely in my thoughts. I'm glad that there was no serious harm to your family. All your possessions can be replaced, family members cannot. If there's anything I can do for you, please ask. :TU: I'll do what I can if needed.
Greg - I'm very glad to hear you all got out safely!! Your daughter will be up and running in no time. In the end, everything else is just stuff. I pray God will pour out His blessings on you, your family, and all who are helping you get thru this!! :TU: I lost a friend to a house fire this spring..... so it really could have been worse. Thankfully, in your case it wasn't!! Your friend is right though....please look to God to get you thru this. The Lord never promised us no difficult times....only that He would help us get thru them.
well the insurence adjuster came today kitchen will get remodeled for sure walls, floor, ceiling, and cabnets are a lose. the living room is one wall being replaced, the upstairs is unlivable because of the smoke damage and sout to everything they will clean it all they said my agents from the insurence came as well 2 of them said they are going to have everything in this house back for me before christmas is here they said it will look better than before shock my hand and looked me in the eye and said it will be done the one agent brought bakery for all the people they had in and out of the house and stayed today to make sure things where done right and even answered questions that i had no idea of he left at 5 tonight and again said they where here for me i paid the premium now its there turn the smell is just so bad in the house the over pouring from my neighbors and friends are just unreal they all say i am there for them so its there turn makes a guy remember there is a higher hand over us thankGod that my family is here and i can look at them from across the room yet thank you all Greg
Had it happen to me 20 years ago December 18th. Had to move out for a year to rebuild. You'll be back in before you know it and the place will be better than ever. Just thank God that your all O.K.. Soon it will all be just a bad memory....in spite of it all....have a Merry Christmas. RON
I'm real glad youns are OK. Prayers for your family. Sounds like your friends and family are great! As is our God :TU:
Greg, So sorry to hear this. I really hope it all gets fixed before Christmas. Im glad you guys are ok. I'll continue to keep you in my prayers.
Glad to hear you are all "ok" at least. It's somewhat overwhelming when all that help comes from friends and neighbors, I too, know from experience when we had a bit of a disaster at our home. I will be praying for your family, and your situation tonight. Carl
Greg,I'm so sorry to hear what happened.That has always been my greatest fear.It's just good to know that everyone is OK.You can always rebuild a house but a family is a totally different story.Just know that everybody on this board is behind you and that if there is anything we can do to help,do not be afraid to ask.Take care and I hope everything will work out for you and your family.
Greg, so sorry to hear about your problem. My mom went through a similiar disaster about 13 years ago. They ended up taking most of the drywall out because of the smoke damage. Way more smoke damage than actual fire damage. It is pretty amazing what the restoration people can do and your insurance agents seem to have it all together for you. Years from now you will be telling the story of the Christmas after the fire. Larry
Hey Greg. Just know that for every door that slams shut, another one opens. Truly sorry for your loss. Keep your chin up and your focus on God. It is ALL you will need. Glad the family made it out ok.
Prayer said! Thankfully no one was hurt! Like previously said, the family is what counts, the rest is replaceable. Sounds like you have a good insurance agent; someone who actual cares about his 'clients', not his 'accounts'. Good Luck!
