A fire destroyed 4 homes and took the lives of an 18 year old girl and her 16 year old brother in Passaic, NJ on Saturday April 5. Jennifer, right, lost her best friend to the fire...
My heart goes out to Jennifer and all of those who were affected by the loss of the two young lives and the fire. Jennifer said, "She (her best friend) was a sweetheart, anything anyone could have asked for in a friend... So young it wasn't her time to die." Jennifer and other friends of the deceased spoke very highly of their friend... they spoke about the little moments, the big moments, the tough times and the funny times... They smiled, laughed and cried... They reminisced, were shocked in the present and wondered about the future... They miss their friend... They will always have their comforting memories... They are a good-hearted group...
Enrique, right, lost his home and most of his belongings to the fire. Enrique is a friendly and sincere man and I wish all the best to him, his wife and 2 children.
Enrique spent the entire day, Sunday April 6, trying to salvage all that he could.
But at first it was just Holly (court reporter), me and the empty courtroom... Holly loves her organic food and walks briskly for 20 minutes around the courtroom every morning and again during lunch... Can't argue with her devotion to a healthy lifestyle.
