We are so sad.... J's dear friend A.B. lost everything in last week's devastating fire in Sylmar. A.B. lived in Oakridge - the community of 600 homes that was descimated. Less than 100 are still standing and unfortunately, A.B.'s was destroyed. She escaped with her life last Friday night with just a few items. Luckily her incredibly loving and wonderful sister J.B. lives nearby and is providing great support. A.B. has been staying with J.B. and family while spending many hours sifting through the rubble that once was her home. So far she hasn't found much - only a cross that was hanging on the wall, and a plate from Holland (she was born in Holland and her parents came to America when she and her sister were tiny girls). The positive to all of this is how strong the human spirit is and how much they can withstand and still think toward the future. J says the other good thing to come out of this horrible tragedy is to again see how warm, caring and helpful people can be. We know that A.B. will be OK in time. So Angus and I are sending our love to A.B. and to all those affected by the awful fires. J is posting a few pictures that A.B. took from her neighborhood 2 days ago. It really looks as if an atomic bomb went off.... Rosie
