I got this note from Rev. Billy Talen. He is friends with the father and daughter victims of the Third Street fire and had this to say about how they are doing.
Our friend Kate is, with her father Michael, in the Cornell Burn
Center now. The father and daughter are in serious but stable
condition. Michael's partner Robin is there with family and close
friends arriving from their holiday locations.
Center now. The father and daughter are in serious but stable
condition. Michael's partner Robin is there with family and close
friends arriving from their holiday locations.
The two will be in and
out of consciousness for some time, perhaps weeks, as the toxins of the
smoke inhalation are dealt with and the healing goes forward.
At the time of this holiday near-tragedy, thanks and huzzahs go to the New York City firemen…
Kate
is an indomitable New York character, a soulful survivor, and we know
that her fierce love of life will prevail. Our prayers are with Kate
and Michael in this season of hope.
