I know that this is off the subject of PM but I live here in this wonderful city and would like to ask those of you who are willing to pray for us. The winds are really fueling the fires and people have lost their lives and homes and everything they own. One of those persons happens to be a friend of mines mother. while trying to escape her and her husband took seperate cars and they got seperated some how. He tried to find her but couldn't. She apparently came across a wall of fire and could do nothing. She died in her car. Her husband has lost everything.. his wife first and for most his dogs his house and all his belongings which really doesn't mean a thing when you have lost the one you love so dearly. My poor friend was watching tv that morning when they showed a car and a dead woman on the side of the road. It was her mom. Thats how she found out. There are fires blazing all around us and the devestation is unthinkable. So please say a prayer for those who have lost lives those who have lost their homes and those who have to live with this for the rest of their lives. Please pray that they get these fires under control as soon as possible. Thanks everyone. Mo

Mo;

I will definately keep you and those around you in my prayers. I feel so bad for your friend. That is a horrible way to find out about someone you care about. It breaks my heart to even think about your friend and what she/he must have been feeling when they saw that on t.v.

Please take care and stay safe you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you so much for your reply. My children are out of school today since the air quality is sooo unhealthy. In fact all over San Diego and Riverside county all the schoolsare closed. I believe that as far as air quality and its safeness goes 30 is an acceptable condition; right now its a bit over 90 from all the smoke and ash in the air. Its very sad to sit here and watch all these people who have lost so much crying on tv. One man had 6 propertys that he lost along with antiques and 10 antique jaguars. It's amazing how your life can change in an instant. One day your happy on top of the world and the next total devestation. My heart goes out to all the people as it really has hit home for me. Thanks again for your well wishes.

Mo

Dear Mo, My heart goes out to everyone that has endured the fires and their devastating affects. I sure hope that all the communities that have been affected from the fires are all pulling together to help those in need and that God will have his hand in the healing. I am not there to witness such a tradgedy, but please know that I will pray for you and others, and I send good thoughts and hopes for the fires to end. Take care, God Bless,SusieQ
