Couple Loses Home

Lonnie and I lost our home June 22,2014. Lincoln Fire Department and Morrow Fire Department's outstanding efforts weren't able to save anything. The fire marshall declared it a "total loss." The insurance adjuster agreed the house and contents were gone. Thank God we were not at home when the lightening struck the transformer on an outside pole and went in through a line underground into the house and blew the breaker box, which started the fire as it blew up.

We have been blessed with three daughters and their husbands who love us and have carried us through this trying time. Our friends, neighbors, families, churches and our wonderful town rallied around us and hosted a benefit in our honor. We sincerely want to thank everyone who helped to make this a success. We are honored by the generosity of people. Thank you for the food, phone calls, visits, donations and words of kindness and support.

Thank you,

Lonnie and Mary Anne Cantrell
