Scituate fire victims grateful for support

To our family, friends and supporters:

It has now been over a month since our lives completely changed forever in an instant. We are so grateful that we made the decisions we did that night on December 26. We are all adapting and getting our lives back on track. My family and I would like to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to the enormous outpouring of support we received since that terrible day. We knew we would come home to floods, as we know the ocean very well, but the fire was a total shock. We lost everything that day, but not the most important things – our lives and our good friends and neighbors also survived unharmed.

People rallied, here in Scituate and in my good old hometown of Canton. We would like to thank my dear friends who started to rally soon after the fire to create a fundraiser on February 4 for my family and the families of the floods/fires. We want to thank the Canton Town Club and its members for donating the hall and their services for the fundraiser. Thanks to Gary Titus for his time and talents to DJ the party. Thanks to countless friends and family who organized and attended the event. Thanks to all the local businesses for donating gifts for the raffles and silent auction. Thanks to the people who made donations to the Scituate Family Relief fund on my family’s behalf.

It was a wonderful, fun night that celebrated living life, family, old friends, and most of all, the kindness and generosity of others. We are deeply touched by the letters of support, phone calls and emails. We have much to think about, plan and decide in the next few months, and all this support has energized us to handle whatever lies ahead. Our heartfelt thanks to all involved.

Sincerely,

Carey and Cliff Thompson, Jack Thomas Thompson and Lorraine Doolan
