Outpouring of support for Blount Co. family
Submitted by R. Neal on Thu, 2007/02/08 - 6:12pm.
Got this in an e-mail from Lisa Starbuck:
Just wanted to let everyone know that Kimberly-Clarke Co. has paid all the funeral expenses for the 4 children who perished in the fire this week. They have also given Rolston, the dad, a year off with pay. Also, Smith Mortuary stepped up, along with the casket company and the cemetery and reduced the funeral expenses from $35,000 for all to $4,500 for all. At a time when companies are tightening up the budget, it's really great when they step up like this.
Terrible tragedies like this seem to bring out the best in people.
This was a terrible tragedy, I couldn't even imagine, or even want to imagine, the sorrow this family has, and are, going through. It's nice to hear that a company such as Kimberly/Clark has gone over and above what you would expect from an employer this day and time. That was an extremely good deed.

Just to let you know that Hallerin Hilton Hill on WNOX is trying to raise funds/participation to either build or buy them a house. He is just brainstorming on the air this morning, but he has already had someone agree to donate parts & labor for HVAC, residential sprinkler system, match up to $10,000. I think it is great the community support for this family in this tragic time.
Glad they're getting some help.
BTW, one of the local radio stations played that poor woman's 911 tape on the radio. They have no shame.

Can't we all just get a long gun?
They have no shame.
I agree!
