61. Ken Hughes sure doesn't have "his" facts straight. If he thinks everyone in California obeys the fire prevention or any other highway sign, he's living in a make believable world!

Being a 63 year old native of Calif., I've see hundreds of idiots throwing junk from their cars. I spent fourteen years making the hundred mile round trip from Idyllwild (high in the mountains above Palm Springs) to my office in the desert. There hasn't been a year that I have not been behind some car and watched it's driver flick a iit butt out of their car - even during the height of fire season in the national forest.

I've seen and experienced wildfires up close and even had to evacuate our home during the1996 Bee Canyon Fire. Almost every major fire in Southern California has been ignited by som carelessact or some sick f***!

62. It is sad for anyone to lose their home. I don't
understand how people can write such mean
things in regard to Suzanne, but not everyone is
as nice as she is.

65. THis is a class "A" lady who lives her spiritual mission, and it shows in this tremendously powerful and inspirational statemnt. THose who diss her are entitled to their opinion, but I would ask them to consider her position and how strong you must be to talk like this in the face of disaster, regardless of how much money she has ... Give the lady a break!

66. I am so sorry for them but think Suzanne has the right attitude. She and I were born a couple years apart, same area and same name. She was born Mahoney and so was I!!! Boy I wish I looked like her!!! Anyway it's great to see someone with so much realize that as long as life was not lost, they surely can rebuild! Think of those in fires that lose all and have no $ to rebuild! Now that's a tragedy.

67. Dear Suzanne and family, as well as all that have lost their homes in yesterday's fire:
Loss is not easy at any economic level. The cherished memories of fun with family and friends, the feelings of safety and community connection are temporarily disconnected. It's difficult. It's sad. I am grateful that no lives are lost and wish you all God's comfort through the process of grieving and rebuilding.

68. I certainly do not see anyone laughing at ME Cheryl. It is only YOU and I could care less if you are or not. I think you are a horrible person for your original writing here. Just because Suzanne has money, which she earned every single penny HERSELF does NOT give you a right to be so ignorant, aweful, shameless and spiteful regarding her loss. Certainly she can buy a new home, HOWEVER, losing her home, her possessions and anything else is a devasting thing. I do not care how much money she has or how many homes she can buy, this was HER home, paid for and much loved. Her loss was terrible and for you to inflict YOUR SH*T because you are a jealous and a petty person ignited MY fire on you you ignorant piece of sh*t!

69. The irony is that several years ago when there was a fire in a Palm Springs canyon, Suzanne saved Sonny Bono's home from being burned. Their homes are across a canyon from each other. I'm very sad for Suzanne and Alan. I have much admiration for them.

70. I experienced a house fire in 1980 losing everything. My children and I learned a lesson that things are not so important if you have each other. My kids baby pics and alot of other sentimental stuff are now stored in my brain. But when I see my grown children and their children I see what is important. It is a horendous experience but as someone mentioned something good can come out of this tragedy.

I love Suzanne Somers, and I have seen her through many difficult times, although from afar, we have many things in comman, one of which are our mutual Birthdays, Oct. 16th,and even her life crosses mine, in numerous ways, that are very symbolic of our mutual Karma, but this terrible fire, though heart breaking I'm sure, will not un-glue her very strong resolve, and I know she will come though this with her family "INTACT", God Bless You Suzanne, and keep your inner core, the "CENTER-OF-YOUR-BEING" healthy, that, is the best advise I could send her.........(STAY CENTERED AND FOCUSED!)
I hope she didn't lose any pets, or something so dear to her that it leaves a permanent scar! God will provide Suzanne, believe that, because I am your soul-sister, on this earth, (and also have a Violet Susan, in my life, and many other comman denominators, that keep me on your wave length, believe it or not.) God Bless your children, and especially, your husband now at this most unfortunate time.
Most Sincerely,
Mona-Lisa.............................smiles! from me.
Your Friend,

73. How sad and devestating. To have a fire. No matter if they are rich, poor or just plain folk like most of us. No one deserves to have all they have go up in smoke. Let's hope no pets perished.
God grant you peace and the angels above can lay their hands upon you and your husband. Let's also remember all those who had to risk their lives. During the fires. And hope this never happens again to others. No matter how the fire started. We need to be there for those who lose their home and everything. As weell as those who fight the fires trying to save all we have no matter where we live.

75. So sorry for Suzanne, I enjoyed her on three's company and her interviews on Larry King are so inspiring. She is a good business woman and good person. I am so glad she was not home at the time. I wonder if her garage is full of chared thigh masters?
