    Dana,
    My parents live 6 houses down and know these people as good people and good friends.
    I have not seen this house with my own two eyes but my parents are the best people I know and I really think that your comment was out of line. The people in this community, very much care about one another. Who are you to say this?
    They are all very sad and praying for this lovely couple and their two dogs who are actually, who are family to them too. I have never met them but know for sure that they are great human beings. They care about everybody around them and love the neighborhood.
    My Prayers are with these two people that matter so much to everybody they come in contact with, and care about EVERY DAY, and NIGHT. I pray that they pull through this Horrific tragedy. Everyone with a heart should be doing the same.
    Proudly to say,
    The Daughter of Rich and Donna Rozema.

    It really doesn’t matter where the house is as long as these folks are okay, and we as a community, all of Star Valley, do all we can to help them if it is needed.

    Hi Debbie,
    Or to whom can get this message to you.
    I did notice that my comment/reply was modified, without your name in it? I see why now.
    I want to apologize to you, I wish I could in person. I was shell shocked after seeing this home and hearing about the family. This is tragic, I was looking for names at the top of the comment as well as who signed it. I am a person, that when I make a mistake I say, it was my mistake, I do apologize from my whole heart. I am sorry.
    This is to Debbie personally and not meant to be posted. Her name was taken out of my comment/reply, so if she can just know that I am sorry, that would be great. I would do this in person if I could. My email is PJRoze@aol.com as you can see in this web site.
    Thank you for reading.
    Pam

    Hello -
    I am a very good friend of Pete’s daughter Cyndie. Cyndie just returned to Arizona after spending many days at the University of Utah Burn Center. Bev is doing better at this time than Pete. I will tell Cyndie that you are thinking of her. Maybe you saw her at the house last week.

    Sadly we were there when this terrible accident happened. When we first saw the smoke and flames, My husband went to see if he could help and the home was already fully engulfed. We have known Bev and Pete for many years and Bev has had long conversations with my then struggling teen, Hayley. She is now a Sr. Airman in the airforce and when I called her she was saddened when I told her what happened, she sends her prays for their swift recovery as do we. I was wondering if anyone had put up a website for Bev and Pete that we could track their recoveries. We live in the Salt Lake area and would be happy to do anything we can to help them recover from this tragedy. Deb and Tom Hutchinson
