First I would like to say I'm so sorry for your loss, having gone through a similar situation when I was a child so I can relate. My Grandparents home burnt to the ground due to an electrical fire when I was 5. There we're 12 of us in the home at the time and luckily we all made it out alive, well all except our family wiener dog babe.

I know it will be hard for some people to realize it wasn't just property that you lost but a lifetime of memories that were made in those homes through the years. So stay strong this to shall pass and your family is in my thoughts.
