Sad day in Verona

The old Sample homestead on Palmetto Road in Verona burned to the ground this afternoon. Not much is known for sure at this point concerning cause, though it would certainly appear to have been set. M.A. and Aunt Da are sad as they remember many fond years at their "summer house" in the country. David, Jimmy, and Ned picked daffodils (visible in first pic) for Mary Beth from the front yard here just two weeks ago.
