I awoke to this news story this morning and it broke my heart as it happened in a wonderful small town I spend a lot of time in.

My heart and sympathies go out the family, friends and neighbors in Blain Pennsylvania.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Absolutely tragic. My condolences to the family and the entire community. Just awful.

I cannot imagine the pain the surviving family is experiencing. They are in my prayers.
So sickening. My prayers go out to them.
I heard our fire company go out early this morning but thought nothing of is as Liverpool is responsible for covering U.S. 11&15 the main north/south artery out of Harrisburg along the Susquehanna river. Blain and that house are located near Sherman’s Creek. I have been past that property many times in my travels to fish Sherman’s Creek and the wild brook trout enhancement project out there.
This is a simple, rural county populated by easy going folks. They are some of the most loving, warm, friendly folks and today they are deeply saddened by this fire. Nothing can bring the children back but we will help mom, dad and the 3 year old. It is gut wrenching. Our hearts are breaking for the family. Prayers and much help are on the way for them.
if anyone is able to talk to the family, Please tell them we here at faol are praying for them.
Very, very sad! That’s a tremendous loss for the family, their friends, and the community! Good thoughts going out to all who are touched by this heart wrenching event!!
All the best, Dave S.
