Thank you for the Feb. 13 story “Community rallies after fire — Fundraising benefits lost business, family of woman who died.” I grew up in the area and was devastated when I heard of the fire, and that Amy Hooser lost her life to it, along with 10 animals. But what makes me want to thank you, and the entire community, is that the community banded together to support those who lost their business and loved ones.
A strong, supportive community is essential to the well-being and prosperity of the people within it. Acts such as this fundraiser should not go unnoticed. I urge everybody to follow in these footsteps, in troubled and peaceful times alike.
