Thanking God that what was now confirmed to be an electrical fire by the Fire Marshal happened in the 15 minutes time period while I was out walking my Gigi (my dog). I lost everything, but gained everything- My life!!

Praising God for His Grace and His Mercy this could have happened while I was asleep!

I’m so grateful to my neighbors for all of the support and well wishes!! Especially, Sergio & Michelle, Frank and family!
