Thanks to firefighters

To the editor:

I want to say that it was with amazement that my husband and I surveyed the damage to our son’s home by fire on July 14. With the heat pushing 100 degrees, firefighters also faced the heat of the fire, smoke and everything. My question is, how could the firemen take time to save so much that could not be replaced?  Thanking them seems like such a small thing to do. But we wanted to say something for our son and daughter-in-law and our grandchildren. They are trying right now to have some kind of normal life.  So to the Greenwood, Whiteland, New Whiteland, Clark Township, Perry Township and White River Township Fire Departments, I would like to say thank you and let you know how much the families of these two young people appreciate every effort that you put forth. I pray that the men who were taken to the hospital for heat exhaustion will not have any lasting effects from it.  Also, we would like to thank the Greenwood Ladies Auxiliary, the neighbors who opened their homes and friends who just helped in any way they could.  Thanks seem so small. God bless you.

Jim and Joan Gore, Franklin
