FYI: Joy's youngest brother Matt had his apartment in the Norwich Complex that burned down

Hi Everyone,

Some of you have met my "shortest" brother Matt. He was the one who danced the MACARENA at my wedding reception and was the real character.

He is a shift supervisor and back-up Craps and BlackJack dealer at Foxwoods for about 8 years, I think.

We just moved him from an apartment in a house to the Peachtree apartment complex in Norwich about last May or June.

He was in the shower and getting ready to go in to work for his early morning shift at Foxwoods when the alarm when off. So, he was lucky enough to get out in his best suit for work and a two day supply of his insulin but nothing else.

He had no renter's insurance. (I didn't know he hadn't gotten that!)

So, prayers and good wishes for my brother as he was pretty much in shock today. He phoned in to Foxwoods so they only said he could have today off. (Real sympathetic aren't they!)

So, I had thought I would have enjoyed brunch but have been taking it one day at a time myself. My family wants me up in Putnam/Woodstock area to help out tomorrow and help my brother figure some things out.

Joy

Let us know if there is anything that any of us can do to help. I know I have some furniture in my garage that I'd be happy to give to someone!
