Frank Brannigan on Firefighting and Lightweight Truss Roof Construction

Received via e-mail Tuesday

Dear Firehouse,

My name is Suzette Smith and I am Kimberly's oldest sister.

Your site has given me a moment of calm is what is a most devastating time.

Kimberly loved being a firefighter. She was a dedicated and loyal member of your fraternity. Words cannot describe the sorrow that my family feels.

As my parents do not have internet access, I will print out [condolences] and make sure that my mother and father will have your words of comfort.

After all of the ceremony, their darkest hours will descend and it is at that time that your words will mean so much. Please post this for me.
