What a tragedy! The whole country is mourning the passing. When you find out who it is, you will cry

A house in Defiance, Missouri, exploded on Friday, tragically killing brothers Julian, 4, and Jamison Keiser, 6. They were home due to a weather-related school closure. Their mother, Evelyn Turpiano, and grandparents escaped safely. Firefighters couldn’t reach the boys in time due to intense flames.

The building’s owners, Hoffmann Family of Companies, expressed their condolences, while a GoFundMe campaign has raised over $145,000 to support the family. Neighbor Laura Emerson placed a wreath on the destroyed house, remembering the boys as “happy” and “loved.”
