Update on Riley's Tragedy

This is all that remains of the Riley home in Lake Arrowhead. We cannot imagine what it was like for Dave's parents to come home to this vision. Our hearts truly ache for them. They were finally able to go up the mountain last week to look at the property. Dave, his bro's, & sister went out and were there to support them. It was an emotional experience, but he said his parent's were amazingly strong. Unfortunately, all that they were able to find, were some charred coins from a safe that had broken open. They are currently staying with Michael's mother in Oak Glen. We don't know what their final plans will be, but we are surely pulling that they will be able to move out here as planned, be by us kids, & start anew. Mom & Dad, we firmly believe the Lord has great blessings in store for you. Stay strong. We love you and we know things will get better. We also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all your prayers & concern for them (please continue to do so). And we express our deep appreciation to those who have donated to the fund. This has been a very stressful & complicated situation to sort out & they are surely in need. For those who are still interested in donating, here is the information:
It's called the Michael Riley Donation Account: You may make a deposit at any Zion’s Bank or send donation to: Zion’s Bank, 98 North Main, Brigham City, Utah, 84302. We appreciate any support you can provide.

We were just sent this photo. It confirms the reality of what's happened.
