Terry and Diana Hardwick lost their home, auto and 4-wheeler in a fire on Friday morning. They lost everything. Diana works for me part time and is a retired nurse practitioner. Their son, Jeffrey has second and third degree burns on his legs. The fire started in his room as he was making the bed when the fire went up the wall to the ceiling and set the mattress on fire. They all barely got out before it was completely engulfed in flames. Diana volunteers as a pink lady. Halo and her church makes handmade quilts for nonprofits to raffle off. We are also taking donations for them. They have found a place to stay and trying to get their heads on straight after all this and get some necessities together. Please pray for them.
