Our family are fellow Washingtonians, and feeling the pain of these losses very sharply.

We, also, suffered a loss of home and place due to wildfires in 1994, and thankfully, no loss of life. So, on a different scale, but there are touchpoints of commonality.

Grievous loss; sad beyond words; no sense to make of it, other than to realize both our smallness and our irreplaceability, in the grand scheme of things.
