Pastor Stephanie Lord lost her home in the Marshall Fire but remains committed to her position as a leader of faith. She, like many others, is torn in her own emotions between the excitement of a new home, and the reality of their loss.
LOUISVILLE, Colo. — The scene in the Superior neighborhood of Coal Creek paints the picture of varying emotions felt by Marshall Fire victims. One year after the fire destroyed more than a thousand homes in Boulder County, causing more than $2 billion in damages, the first new homes are being built in the burn zone.
Homeowners have faced incredible hardships, many living in temporary arrangements over the last year, fighting insurance claim money, and trying to rebuild family memories to make the holidays an enjoyable time. She led a service at Christ the Servant Lutheran Church in Louisville called"Remembrance, Reflection, and Resilience," which was designed as a flexible way to offer peace to those who need it, prayer, conversation, and a rally for enduring the last year.
After losing their family home of nearly 10 years, she, her husband and two kids decided to rebuild on the same property. But she is torn in her own emotions between the excitement of a new home, and the reality of their loss.
