From the bottom of our hearts, we want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us during this incredibly difficult time.
We are especially grateful to the firefighters from Hot Springs, Edgemont, Custer, Argyle, and the VA Fire Department, along with the police, first responders, Black Hills Power, and the gas company, who responded so quickly and worked tirelessly to contain the fire. We cannot thank you enough for your courage, dedication, and hard work.
We also want to thank our incredible community for the overwhelming amount of love and support we have received. Every message, phone call, kind word, and person who has reached out to check on us has meant more than we can express.
From the very beginning, this community welcomed us with open arms and made us feel at home. During one of the most difficult moments we have faced, you have once again reminded us just how special this community truly is. We feel incredibly grateful and blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people.
While this has been a heartbreaking and difficult experience, we are deeply thankful that we are not facing it alone. Your kindness, support, and encouragement give us strength and hope for what lies ahead.
This is not the end of our story. As we take things one day at a time and begin to figure out what comes next, we will share more when the time is right. One thing we know for certain is that we will be back, stronger than ever.
From our family to yours, thank you. Truly, from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️
