Updated: January 7, 2009
The day after a tragic fire takes seven lives. Friends and family remember those who are no longer with us. Friends gathered at what used to be the home of the Garner and Whitten families to pay their respects. Seven of the 13 people who were living there, died early Thursday morning when their trailer became engulfed in flames. These four adults and three children were killed when the fire spread to the bedroom where they had been sleeping. Business acquaintance, Steven Woody, reflected on what the Garner family meant to him. A fund has been set up in the Garner family name to help cover funeral costs. You can make a donation at any Arvest Bank.
