Less than three weeks ago, Shawn Sowders' phone rang at a baseball game.

A neighbor informed the longtime Harrison High School baseball coach and teacher that his home was on fire and in the span of that phone call, he knew life would be forever different.

Sowders and his wife, Misty, lost their home June 16 in a fire. They lost two dogs in the fire. They lost memories and keepsakes that come from a life lived in the same place.
