Buddy y’all should take a log of the pecan tree and ask Cuz to make y’all a bowl out if it and maybe a platter as a keepsake since y’all loved it so much ! What a blessing to have Jake and Jenny and Robert to come help y’all get the tree cut up and moved!!

[@lizregan1949]

Great idea.. ❤❤

[@dottieschwenk6350]

Awesome suggestion!❤

[@stephanieraymoure5886]

Great idea!!!

[@rosemarygraham2815]

I’m sure he would love to do it!❤❤❤🙌🏻

[@riolistic438]

Do you all think Paw Paw’s Cuz could make one of his beautiful crafts with the pecan tree?

[@edierice5233]

The pecan tree you loved probably saved the entire corner of your house from extensive damage!! How awesome that everyone came together to help!

[@ddenice963]

Kind of like a blessing in the mist of the storm. I would rather lose a tree than my whole house…. God is good…

[@tonidavis1045]

Jake is ALWAYS, there to help!!!! He's a very good hard working guy, Alyssa got her a GOOD man!!! No worries of him being LAZY!!!😊😊😊

[@stephaniewilliams870]

Friends and family helping each other is a beautiful thing.

[@dianesmith2480]

That pecan tree likely gave up its life to help keep your house from getting even more damaged by giving that tree trunk some support … so sorry … it’s nice your family & friends rallied to help make it a little easier cleanup! It’s good you came home … love you guys❣️

[@lesley4215]

That Pecan gave its last measure of devotion.❤

[@samhaddock7668]

Rub some olive oil on the pecan stump, hands on it, and PRAY over it. Your faith will cause it to regrow! You might even have more than one come up and have to replant them. This is an example of having a broken heart and Psalms 41:3 tells us God will heal the brokenhearted. I am glad nobody was hurt and you have a chance to repair and heal things quickly, I pray this in Jesus name, Amen. God bless the Denman Homestead. 🙏🙏

[@res1mihs]

Way to go Jake….helping all those on Morrow Hill!

[@steveberdie7745]

Norma here. Aww Buddy, I hate to see you looking so sad, exhausted and almost defeated. I know it’s just everything hitting you. All the driving, the work, the stress and the heat. I also know that you’ll be back to your old self in no time. I’m so sorry about the pecan tree and I don’t know it’s history, but you can always plant another to replace it. Hope it doesn’t take too long before your roof can be repaired or replaced. I remember back in the early 2000s, my town was hit by 3 hurricanes all within a years time and everywhere you looked, everyone’s roofs were covered with bright blue tarps. Just remember not to dwell on the disaster, but on all the helpers and you had plenty of helpers. Jake just amazes me with his willingness to help anyone in need……the same way that you and Steph are always there for others. God bless the Denmans and praise God that no one was hurt and that your home is still standing.

[@barbieburchfield5933]

Thanks for the update! Everyone helping was definitely a blessing! I’m sorry about the pecan tree…save some of those logs and have PawPaw’s friend make some of his beautiful bowls as keepsakes.

I bet you could also sell pecan wood to carvers and stores that sell wood

In a few years I bet Jake is just as good on the tractor as Dan is. Not surprised to see Jake there helping. He’s been kicking butt lately. Couldn’t believe he was ready to start cleaning up before it was even done raining. The trunk of that tree sure was BIG! The pecan tree might surprise you guys an start coming back next year.

Loss is always hard, but, you are so blessed that you got home safe and no one was hurt during all the destruction and clean-up. God Bless you all.

Thanks to everyone who came to help Buddy and Steph during this situation. I'm so sorry that you all loss the pecan tree but as others have stated it gave it's life to keep that bigger tree from further destroying your home.. and the suggestion to have Cuz make a keepsake from the wood is a great one👍... Take your time Buddy. The main issues have been started on so take your time finishing. Exhaustion can sneak up on you...🙏🙏🙏

It’s so good to have so many people helping you out. Thank goodness for all of them. Jake has helped out every one on Morrow Hill. He even helped the neighbor who isn’t even home! Sorry about the pecan tree, it helped save your house! Don’t overdo it and take it easy! 🙏🏻❤️

Oh my big tree and dangerous hard work...thank goodness again for good friends and relatives and much needed help...❤

[@johngundrum8242]

Lester and Jami came over with chainsaw and tarps, but Lester realized it was to big a job for him. He might have caused more damage to the roof. So he called a pro and had the tree removed from the roof. Buddy used Lester's tarps to cover a lot of the damaged roof. LE and Megan provided two more tarps so Buddy could finish covering the rest of the damage. Glad the got a pro to take the trees the rest of the way down and cut them up. The pine tree falling across the pecan tree broke its fall. The damage could have been much worse. I am thankful for that. I hate that the tree hit the house.

I miss the days when neighbors and friends always helped. When I was about 15, our main pipe out side burst, but my dad had to go to work so he just turned the water off, until he got home, Well by the time he got home, all the work was done. One friend was a plumber, one was construction and so on, they dug up the yard and replaced everything, so my dad had a bbq for everyone (along with cold beer) about 20 people there and everyone kept saying “that’s what friends are for, you help each other” Edit- no my parents had no idea, they were at work and it was 1975, no social media and you only called your parents at work if it was an emergency 😂
