Cordele — In the early morning of July 31, 2010 at 3:15 a.m. our mom, Patricia Neuman’s home was engulfed by flames. The local firefighters did a great job at putting the fire out quickly. They diligently looked for her and her sister’s dogs (Dobi and Blue - teacup Chihuahuas) but it was too late.

It was very hot even at this early hour and firefighters were passing out as they exited the home but continued to work quickly. We are very thankful for the job they did. Our mom was not at home at the time the fire started so we are very thankful there was no harm to her, but she arrived home as the firefighters started working.

We are also very thankful for her gracious neighbors who called 911 and also banged on her door makiing sure she was not home. Many neighbors have stopped by and brought drinks during the long days of cleaning up and there is still alot to clean up.

Unfortunately our mom’s home was not insured and she needs monetary donations to help clean up the mess the fire left behind. We were able to save some china, cookware, clothes, and furniture. We are very thankful for all the help we have received. All donations may be sent to 3891 A Hwy 280 E, Cordele, GA 31015 or brought to the office of G. Russell Wright, PC, 110 East 13th Ave., Cordele, GA 31015.

Thank you again,

Nikki Neumans and Kristy Branch

New Year’s resolutions can be bad for our egos. They practically scream, “Aha, I gotcha…you’re a failure.”
