Friends helped in crisis

They say that you don't know who your true friends are until there is a crisis. August 15, and the days that followed, our family (Dean) learned that we are surrounded by many friends and an endless supply of support.

To the firefighters who helped to battle the fire at our barns, we cannot begin to thank you enough. You saved our house, trailer and as many structures as you could. Thank you so much for your efforts.

We would also like to thank the police and emergency crews for helping us, keeping us calm, and fuelling us with Gatorade.

We cannot forget to thank our neighbours and friends who have been vital to us in getting through this tough time. Thank you for being our shoulders. We could not have made it through this without you to lean on and your casseroles to eat.

It will not be an easy path back to normal, but the outpouring from everyone has been truly amazing, and will surely help in the future weeks. Thank you so much to everyone who has been there for our family, in any measure.

Love,

The Dean Family
