What I Know

It's not much.

Sometime yesterday after 11:00 a.m. mom started cooking chicken in the kitchen. And a some point, a grease fire likely--not confirmed, but likely--commenced. Since all the doors and windows were shut, the grease fire did not spread but burnt out before authorities arrived at the house.

A neighbor got mom's mail for her and was taking it to the door when she didn't get an answer and saw condensation on the window. There's conflicting reports about smelling smoke. She called authorities.

Two men entered the house and found mom in the kitchen and brought her to the yard to resuscitate her, but she had already passed.

Her body is now in Little Rock for an autopsy. We are waiting for more information from them to determine when funeral arrangements will be made.

Such hard, hard news. I do not have comforting words other than I am praying for new grace every morning as you deal with this unimaginable loss.
