Words fail to describe the lamentation this brings me. I remember going to Jasper on a few occasions having grown up in Central AB, and to see it reduced to this... It feels weird to mourn a place rather than a person, but the loss of Jasper in such a manner makes me feel like I've lost a childhood friend that I haven't spoken to nor seen in far too long. I can only hope that those who were directly affected by the fire have the help and support they need and find peace from the grief that is so much worse than I could begin to imagine.
