Update on Miss Patrick's apartment fire
Janie wants to thank the community AGAIN for the outpouring of love and support! She was able to go back into her apartment building last week to look at the damage, and although her upstairs neighbor's apartment had fallen into hers and there is smoke and water damage, she was able to rescue many sentimental and valued possessions including photos of her children and grandchildren! The apartment complex will have a different unit for Janie to move into in mid-March. She is so very grateful for what was spared and how much our community has rallied around her.
