Joe, did you recover your safe.? I know its trivial but every little counts.
I have tried everything I can to just go up and empty my safe. It will help my entire family if I can just get to it. If you look at the pic I put up up of my burned down house you can easily see it just laying there in place sight right next to the other one. This is like a horror story in every way. I guess they’ll just sit there until the damn thieves get to it.
I’m sorry but this is truly a living nightmare for my family and I.
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
I would like to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart❤️. Your love and generosity has been the driving force to help our whole family get through this terrible crisis. Our lives will never be the same, but our faith in our fellowman has grown tremendously! Pray that we stay strong as we strive to rebuild our business and reconnect with the families we love so dearly. Then begin to care for the children again as we rebuild Paradise! Much love, Kathy Best and family

This is great to hear. I am glad that you will be part of the effort to rebuild the town.
It would be easy and very understandable for people to just cash out with the insurance company and walk away. I am glad there are those who want to clear the ashes and rebuild.

Paradise is our town that we love. All we can do is hope and pray the good folks we love will also rebuild.
Yes it’s a gamble but a gamble with taking.
God bless you all. That is from the heart

They will not let me go up there for any reason.
That's ridiculous. Everything is burned. It can't burn a second time.
We were kept away for quite some time after the Santa Rosa fire storm last year while the authorities conducted their searches for bodies. It's a time consuming process. Rest assured, bit by bit, they will open it back up so people can try to recover what they can from the debris.
I am very happy to have contributed to Joe for the heartache and loss that he is going through. His contributions on this forum are so valued and this is a great opportunity for us to give back to a member in a time of need. Let us also contribute our prayers for Joe and his family for their lives are now in the hands of God.
Sorry for not posting sooner but we were hit with a surprise major ice storm that downed so many trees and they took power lines with them. We just got home from staying with my cousin where we had no cell service besides internet. I have sent a request to Joe for any updates that he could give us. Hope to hear something positive, at least my fingers are crossed.
You all are so amazing and Joe is so appreciative. Thank you all and it is such a blessing to be part of this forum.
