Fire victims’ praise

To the Editor,

On September 10 we lost our home on Appleridge Lane and almost all of our personal belongings to a house fire. As devastating as this event was to us, our lives have been so enriched by the kindness and generosity of our neighbors and the entire Richfield community.

This outpouring of support provided us a glimpse of how truly special it is to live in such a generous and caring community. We are forever grateful.

Also, we would like to personally thank the first responders from Richfield and the fire departments from our surrounding communities. Not only did they expertly coordinate to contain the fire, but we appreciate the Richfield fire department’s extra efforts to recover a few, very meaningful, personal items that would have been irreplaceable.
