Last night our dear friends the Leighner family lost their house in a fire. This has been a terrible year for them, as they also lost a daughter a few months ago. The family was able to get out of the house safely, although one of their cats is still MIA. The house is uninhabitable for at least six months. They lost both vehicles and most of their belongings. They will be staying in a hotel until their insurance company can move them into temporary housing, where they will stay while they rebuild. This could take up to a year.
