The newspaper says the house belongs to a lawyer who lives in the next county. He is a friend and colleague. There is much other information out there. The is so sad.

Update: My friend's daughter was also lost.


Update: I reported a rumor that was not true. My friends daughter was not one of the victims. The other report that one of the victims being from here was confirmed.

This is such a tragedy and seems to be really hitting close to home for you.
As a parent as well as an owner of a vacation home, I can't think of anything worse. I honestly didn't sleep well last night.

This is another tragedy that comes on the back of the tragedy that happened just a few miles from where we live.

Lady G attends the same church as the grandmother of the Mitchell children and she is attending the funeral for the younger one as I write this. The Mitchells, apparently, are a very well known family in the area. I know exactly where this accident happened and I can see how it happened. It is so sad. I feel terrible whenever I see another parent lose a child needlessly.

The fire in Ocean Isle was horrific. Information is just starting to trickle out. They suspect the fire was started by one of the kids' cigarette but that is merely speculation at this time. In any case, it is a terrible tragedy.
