BENEFIT FOR EXPLOSION VICTIMS CONTINUES IN MONTGOMERY

On  June 11, 2013  the explosion of a home in Dobbin, Texas which is in far west Montgomery County killed Jennifer Mock and Lena Knight. Both were initially flown to the hospital with severe burns. Little Wyatt Smith was also flown to the burn center but is out of the hospital now and was nothing but smiles today as friends put together a benefit to assist the family with funeral expenses and medical bills.
The benefit which has been in the planning stages for over a month was held today at the Lone Star Community Center in Montgomery.
Almost 2 tons of brisket was cooked along with 1000 pounds of sausage. Crowds today were estimated at almost 2000 people. Many came by to get to-go meals, some purchased $75 briskets and many others just stopped by to donate.
The ones that stayed were treated to a live auction and the music of several including Josh Ward, Bri Bagwell and Clayton Gardner.
Some of the auction items included a signed JJ Wyatt Jersey, a signed basketball by Jeremy Lin and much more.
It continues until 7pm tonight and there are briskets still available.
Lone Star Community Center is located on Lone  Star Parkway west of FM 149 and north of SH 105.
The Montgomery County Fire Marshal’s Office and Texas Railroad Commission are still investigating how  the propane built up under the house. They feel that when the stove was turned on it ignited the gas.
