Thank you, Teresa, for providing the video. It's heart-wrenching to watch, but important to preserve for future historians.

Teresa.
Is there another way you could put some of the pictures on line? My flash player will not work. I know you are busy.
Thanks Army Mom

Hey Hannah Banana, how's Grandma's Sunshine??  Are Ethan's freckles still sitting on his nose???
Papa Jon and I are worried about Papa Lloyd too.  Remember we love you to the stars and back.  I'll talk to you soon!  Grandma Linda

Ah, Hannah and Ethan.  I'm glad you got on the forum.  I'm also glad that you were able to see the pictures of Papa Lloyd's funeral home.  Remember, all those things that were in the fire can be replaced.  Papa Lloyd can't.  Remember to pray to Jesus asking Him to help Papa Lloyd get well.  I hope I get to see you soon at church.

Hannah and Ethan,

This is Mrs. Galvan.  I am praying, too, for your grandpa, and also for you.  It is hard to lose things and it is sad.  But thanks to God, and some very helpful people, you didn't have to lose  your grandpa.  He loves you so very much. And he needs you to smile and be brave and pray to God for him.  You know how you love to draw, Hannah?  Draw something for him.  It will help both you and him.  And Ethan, you know how much you love the Titanic stuff?  Picture God being even greater and bigger and stronger than that.  And you'll know what He can do for your grandpa.  And then write to your grandpa some sentences that tell him how you feel.  I know how good you are at writing---and it will be like golden treasure to your grandpa. 
All of us back in Howard are thinking about you both, and your grandpa and are sending up prayers by the thousands.  I bet God is so busy listening to all those prayers, he has the angels to help him.  Remember, sometimes when you get sad and down, to look up. 
I love you, both.

Heard about the terrible fire.  My father's people were from Howard
(Amberg) We used to have friends there; most all are gone now. (I'm using
my maiden name as my user name.) A few old timers might remember the
Ambergs from long ago. My grandmother, Dessie Amberg died at Twilight
Manor, at 104, in 1995. We went out for her funeral and Zimmerman's
couldn't have been more kind and helpful to my family and my sister's family
too.This fire is a real tragedy on so many levels. My husband and I are
both volunteer firefighter EMTs here in Newark,  Delaware( pretty much
retired now) so I just have to ask, any smoke detectors? Warm thoughts
and prayers to all.   Diane

You know, Diane, that is one question that I have not asked anyone.  Maybe Charlie, Lloyd's son, will see your post and answer that question.
