Now here we go!! began his legend. “God bless all the brave men and women of our fire department who risked their lives in dangerous conditions.

I am so sad for the people who lost all five of their family members. My deepest prayers are with you!!!!!!”
She continued: “To the people who have lost their homes and possessions, I can only imagine what it feels like to lose properties and everything you have worked so hard and sacrificed so much for! My heart and deep prayers go out to you all. I cannot imagine the pain, suffering and fear you are going through. I pray diligently for our beautiful city of Los Angeles!! But we are resilient and we will recover! “This too shall pass”⠤︔
