Mary, Thanks for your concern. It has been so overwhelming all the support. You just don't realize what wonderful friends you have till something like this happen. As for sizes, I spoke with her on Monday and she and James are ok with clothes. I think her sister, Mom and one of her son's got all that they needed in clothes for now. She was joking and said they would be real easy to choose presents for on Christmas! As for the furniture I know she would appreciate it, but there is no place to put it. Someone even offered them a storage unit but things are still to soon to make any decisions.
Judy said that she thought they would put a travel trailer out there until they decided what to do. She said that they were still in shock and weren't thinking very clearly yet. They are staying with James's Father. She is in Austin now at her parents for the Thanksgiving holidays. Her sister is in Buda. So her family isn't far away which is so important to her I know. It is a blessing that they were not home as the Fire Marshall told them on Saturday. The way the lightening came in the house was through the electric pole and line (this isn't suppose to happen, but you don't tell Mother Nature that) and it blew out the breaker box and the wall that the box was on. It traveled through every electrical wire, plug, socket etc. in the house all at one time. They would probably have been electrocuted if anyone had been home. Hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and again thanks so much for asking.
