Sunday, July 18 - Tragic News From TX

Sunday Brunch with Bea was at OJ’s Diner in Marshalltown. Gotta love good ol’ diner home cookin’!

Shortly after coming back from breakfast, I received news from Gatesville that an explosion,Saturday evening at the Balch family home, injured Eric Balch and his two sons. Eric, a coach in the La Vega, near Waco, was in stable condition with burns over more than 35 percent of his body. The fire and explosion claimed the life of 2-year-old Mason and badly injured 3-year-old Cade. Cade and Eric are at Parkland Hospital Burn Unit, Dallas.

Tammy Balch is a teacher in Gatesville. Tammy and their two daughters, Ashley, 9, and Brooklyn, 6, were not home at the time.

It is just so heart-breaking to hear such news. But, knowing the folks in Gatesville, they will rally around and things will be taken care of for the Balchs.
