We received this email tonight:

“Vivian just grabbed her quilt and Minnie pillow case and cuddled on the couch. She said “i love my blanket soooooo much”

We are so thankful to you all for putting this together for all of the victims of the fire. The girls and I love our quilts and the thought that someone put so much time and love into each one is so meaningful. We will treasure our quilts and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Love, Olivia, Vivian, Dana & Mike Pamplona”
