Dennis & Mary-Who lost their beloved "GIRLS"

Donation protected
My name is Nicole and I am asking for help to raise funds for Mary and Dennis, a very loving, caring and dedicated couple who tragically lost everything they love, besides each other, on New Years Eve.

They are Canyon Ferry residents who both work to help serve the community. Dennis and Mary are the founders and owners of RV and Marine 24/7 Mobile Services. While Dennis would work from his home office or travel for service calls, you would find Mary bartending at Schooner's Bar and Grill, with that effectuating smile that will only make you try to smile as big as her!

Their home was located across the way from Kim's Marina, where we were having a New Years Eve party. Mary and Dennis had plans to drive to Bozeman that night so they came over for dinner before they left. No less then 2 hours after they left, we got notice that their house was on fire. We grabbed as many fire extiquishers as we all could but by the time we made it across the street their home was engulfed and no visibly safe way to enter the home to save the "Girls".
Their two pure bread Vizsla dogs named Baby-Nimmy Burke and Shadow-Hunter Burke.
We knew with Mary and Dennis out of town that they were still in the house and inside the kennel.

At this point we knew that the home would be a total loss, but the "Girls" could possibly be saved. We tried, and tried and tried some more to make entry into the home to get these two helpless animals out of there. As time went by the fire has spread through the entire home and there was zero visibility inside. We could not hear the "Girls" anymore and knew at that point we would have to give Mary and Dennis the devastating news.

It was with great heartbreak to make that call to Dennis and Mary, we were not able to save their "Girls" Baby and Shadow were raised together and will forever be together and never forgotten.

This tragic accident has now left them without their beloved "Girls" or their home.

Mary and Dennis turned a house into a home together. Their home was full of love and laughter, and they never hesitated to welcome their friends over. Any time you went into their home you knew you would be getting loved on by Baby and Shadow. Their love was pure and they were tragically taken away in a blink of an eye.

At this time Mary and Dennis are doing their best to keep positive, and figure out where this tragic accident will take them. They have a very emotionally hard road ahead of them. I am hoping to raise funds to help these two during this emotionally hard time and not to have to worry or stress about the financial struggle that comes with such a tragic accident.

Your support in anyway will be deeply appreciated.
