Lots of questions come to my mind in this tragedy. “Susan,” is gone but what put her into a life in a tent? What can be done, besides blaming “society” on her loss of life?
Like I said…..Lot’s of questions.
No person should have to live this way in this county and or country nor die this way . R. I P
Poor Susan and her dog sparky are gone from this fire I seen her last night doing her laundry now she is dead. I am very sorry for her family and friends who lost her.
