HOMEOWNER THANKS HELPFUL NEIGHBORS.

Dear Eastgate Neighbors and Friends,

I received this email Tues. 7/29, which I'm publishing below with permission of the author. It is very uplifting, and it speaks for itself.

It is indeed great to live in a community like Eastgate.

Hi Doug, this is Teresa Harrison who lives at 2705 Bedford Way. As you may already know we had a fire this past Sunday that burned down a section of our deck. Everyone is okay and the deck will be fixed but I am amazed at the neighbors who helped us through this horrific event.

We were having a birthday party for my oldest son and the tiki torches we lit to keep the skeeters away literally collapsed within thirty minutes and started the deck on fire. We did not notice the fire for God only knows how long but when we did there were already people from all over the neighborhood hosing it down, plus one family that helped keep the children situated while all of us worked on putting the fire out before help arrived.

I have no idea who any of these people are and with my being in such a frantic state I most likely would not recognize them on any given day either. I did put a poster on the tree in our front yard thanking everyone but am curious if our gratitude can be mentioned in the next newsletter. I cannot begin to explain how grateful all of us are for these honorable deeds our neighbors did without a second thought so having this opportunity would be most appreciated.

Thank you for your time,

Teresa Harrison
