Just heard the terrible news Flair. I am so sorry this has happened to your business. Take care of yourself, we will all be thinking of you.

So very distressed to hear of your misfortune. Business is hard enough in this economy and a blow like this is really terrible. You will be in my thoughts.

A fire is like a punch to the gut - and to the soul - that you can't see coming. You are such a capable, compassionate person and competent business woman that we all know you'll get through this but nobody wants their friend to experience the devastation of a fire. Be strong. We care.

In my prayers sweetie:)

Take care.
