Franciscan,
As
a
Californian

as
an
American,
my
heart
breaks
for
the
victims
of
the devastating
wildfires in

North
Bay
and
for
the
loved
ones
of
those
still
missing.
All
Americans
send
our
deepest
condolences
to
the
thousands
whose
homes
and
businesses
have
been
destroyed
and
lives
upended
by
this
disaster,
and
offer
our
solemn
gratitude
to
the heroic
first
responders who
are
risking
their
lives
to
protect
neighbors
and
strangers
alike.
