On behalf of the Friendship Hose Company and the Sunbury Fire Department, I would like to offer our thoughts and prayers for the families of our brother and sister who were lost, and for those other brothers and sisters who have lost someone they have worked with for many years. May you find some comfort in knowing that there are many who also feel your loss. John Donne, an English poet stated, "No man is an island entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main... Any man's death dimishes me because I am involved in mankind. and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee." (John Donne, Meditation 17, 1623)
