Tragic Day here

Tragic day here

Our dear friend and the boy's pediatrician house burnt down early this am. The police were forced to rip the Dr. from his home while he was desperatley trying to save his wife. She perished in the fire. He is at the trauma center .
We as a family and community are devastated. I worked with him at the local hospital for many years (in Peds) and we became close friends. He and his wife were pillars of our community. We are praying for him as well as the entire town. I was on the news www.wpvi.com but was hardly able to make much sense. This Dr was the primary comfort for my children with their multiple health problems. I will not tell them right now but I hurt for them too. I'll be away from the forums for awhile as we grieve.
