When our home exploded Nov. 13 2007 , we thought we were lucky to be alive, now we know we’re not only lucky to be alive but also lucky to live in an area where people care what happens to their neighbors.

We would like to thank each person personally, but that would be nearly impossible.

The local fire companies, businesses, churches and so many individual people have helped tremendously.

There are simply not enough words to express our thanks. To know there are so many caring people in this small community and the surrounding towns is unbelievable.

The only thing we can do is say thanks from the bottom of our hearts to everyone no matter how large or small your contribution.

You will never know how much we appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Again thanks to anyone who has helped in any way. You will never know how grateful we are.

The letter was signed by Rusty, Shawna , Brittany and Brandon Corle.
