I am sure a lot of you have heard about the fire in Metcalfe co yesterday,This was probably about 3 miles from me. Some of you have heard me talk about Little Bonnie, she is in Louisville in critcal condition, with burns over 60 percent of her body. I had her as a client when I worked with the school system, at that time she was 5 years old. I loved her so much. She lost her three children in this fire and a sister. Another child 11 died but I dont know the relation, details are very guarded at this time. Please pray for this family. There was 14 living in the one trailer. 7 of them were taken to Glasgow hospital but have now been released. And please pray for Little Bonnie she has had such a rough life. I saw her at Walmart about a month ago and she was showing me the babies pictures, Such beautiful children, The oldest was 4 years old

I read about this yesterday, Wilma, just after we'd spoken the night before. I knew that I'd driven "through" Sulfur Well when I came down the old route on July 4th. I'm so sorry for this family--absolutely terrible, the tragedy. Is there anything I can do? Is there some sort of fund set up at a local bank?

Miss Wilma, That is heart-wrenching. I just watched the video about the fire and it is such a tragedy. What will they do now?

My heart just aches that you are so low...Please try to get some rest and take care of yourself.

Jonnie as of now we dont know very much, I talked to Shannon over at the consignment store she has started a money fund one of the big grocery stores is working with it the red cross I understand is going to help. This is a very giving community. These people were very very poor. As of now we dont even know who survived.

We can talk more at Burlington, maybe by then there will be something more concrete known. Since you knew the family, do you think there would be any need for baby clothes? I have a bag already to go to charity, all wonderful things Vi can't wear any longer. And some of our own things, both summer and winter. I'd be glad to bring them to you at Burlington to give to the family.

Wilma, call after 8:30 or so...we'll be out after work with Jus's grandfather visiting at the nursing home and then supper with the family. I look forward to hearing how I can help. So sorry that this has happened. Too much to bear all at once.

I am so sorry. I just can't imagine anything worse than being burned like that and losing so many people on top of it. This is just devastating for them and all who care about them. You surely must be so sad, I can see you care for her so much. I pray she will heal and be well once more. God Bless them.

Havent written for a few days. There have been so many untruths told about this situation, I have just been afraid to repeat anything. We were told Little Bonnie had died after crying all night, I found out the next day she hasnt died but is very critcal.I think all we can do is pray for her. I wish I could tell her how much I have always loved her

Miss Wilma, can we send cards to Little Bonnie? Sometimes just having a nurse or someone let you know how much you are loved can help you fight?
