Just read the fire house article regarding Douglas, Georgia Firefighter David Varnedore, responded to a scene, and finds two of his own children dead......
GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER, I'm praying for them and your family.

OOOHHMMMMAAAGOODDD..... I won't even begin to imagine that one. For sure my heart and prayers are to David and his family. I am truly and deeply sorry for such an event.

My thoughts and prayers go out to FF Varnedore, his wife and 2 yr. old surviving daughter. I don't know what I would do if I rolled up on my own family.......I'm just dumbstruck....

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families who lost a child, as well as to every responder who answered the call to this great tragedy.

Even more so for FF Varnedore and his family.

There just are not words enough to express the sorrow I feel for their loss.



Although I think I have found one already, I have petitioned Firehouse.com to attempt to locate an appropriate address where we may direct cards & letters with words of support to our brother and his family. Hopefully they will post anything they find here or on the front page article.

EXCELLENT idea !!!! Thanks for thinking of it. If they don't post it and you know of one can you please email it to me?
