We wish to express our thanks to the
Nocona Volunteer Fire Department and all
the others who showed up to help with the
fire at our home caused by lightning. The
prompt and professional response no doubt
saved the house from complete destruction,
and we will always be grateful not only for
the great work during the fire but also for all
the kindness shown us following the fire,
and thank you to all our family and friends
at The Veranda Inn who have given us a
temporary place that feels like home.
