On 11/21/12 one of my biggest fears came true, my beautiful home, everything I worked so hard for, all my personal treasures, so many precious pictures, beautiful art work and gifts the children made me, my furniture... my faithful and beautiful cat "BOB"... all gone up in flames.. I am just so heartbroken, walking up to my house and to see it all taken away..... But all those things can be replaced, I just thank God that he was watching over my two beautiful children, Audrianna and Stevie, who were home at the time, he got them out safely. I cannot imagine my life without them... I try my best to protect them from all the bad things in this world, unfortunately some things are unavoidable. I LOVE THEM WITH ALL MY HEART, THANK YOU GOD FOR PROTECTING THEM!!!! Thank you to all my wonderful & caring family and friends who supported me, who sent kind words, who brought us food and clothes....

Special thank you to all the firefighters who responded to my house - Lake Erie Beach - my amazing fire family, Evans Center, Farnham, Brant, North Evans, Highland and Reservation Fire Companies. These fine men and woman at the fire scene passed the boot around, it brings tears to my eyes with such gratitude, I don't think words could ever express how much that meant to me. Lake Erie Beach Fire Company was generous enough to allow my family to use their hall to have Thanksgiving Dinner…. Thank you so very much!! My caring co-workers from the Evans Police Department - my police family... especially Ptlm Tracey O'Donnell, not only is this amazing woman a wonderful friend but she stood by me the entire day and days after, took care of whatever I needed without hesitation.. and to the rest of my police family, thank you for everything...

Thank you to my amazing family ... my sister Tammy is trying to restore some of my precious memories.... my brothers and sister in laws, brother in laws, nephews and nieces.They were all there to give lots of love and hugs.. my parents so loving and supportive...
