Yesterday before 5, my mom’s best friend’s house burned down....
The house is most likely going to be a total loss…
I don’t know if you all have ever met anyone quite like Linda Arthur, who lived in the house with her two kids, her parents, & her pets.
She is an amazing woman…
I have had the privilege of knowing her & working with her at my godmother’s daycare for a long time. She is the most giving & loving woman I can imagine…
I cannot begin to express how wonderful she is with the kids at our daycare…
I cannot begin to tell you all how smart she is & how caring she is to everyone she knows…
I cannot begin to explain how she would give anything she could to anyone that she loves…
Her children are beautiful, blessed & talented in many ways…
I’m not asking you all for money, for time, or even for attention,
I am merely asking for your thoughts & prayers for this wonderful family…
Who I, my mother & our family love very much…
You never realize what you may have till its gone…
If you’d like to help past prayers & thoughts, for right now the American Red Cross is providing shelter & clothes…
After tomorrow night, we don’t know…
Thank you for listening…
Much love,
Krissy Scholetzky
