    Jason, I can hear the heartbreak in your voice at the loss of your family property that held so many memories. The fire took the building, but nothing can steal all the precious memories you have of your time spent there with your granddaddy and family. I'm so sorry for your loss.

      I totally agree with you.
      Growing up in my childhood we lost two homes in fires. One due to the old kerosene refrigerator when I was 3yrs old and a wildfire in another State when I was 5 both fires we lost everything from photos to clothes and house hold things. This has left me with terror when seeing fires even on the news to this day and I am over 70.
      My heart breaks for you and the family Jason.
      The cost is hard to accept but I know that between your family and Ryan's family and trust in God things will work out. ❤.
      Prayers are being said for you from Australia.

    Jason, I am so sorry for the loss of Granddaddy's building. Even though the jars were lost, the building itself was such a part of you and your Granddaddy, it is almost like losing another piece of him. Ryan is such a special and inspirational person, I am so glad you have partnered with him and introduced us to him.

      Truly horrible, u wasn't aware they had a candle business, who was making those, scented?
      What could cause it, no power,no propane.
      I do see venting fan so power must have been there at some point I wonder if there was a hot wire unknown.

    I’m so sorry. We had a house fire. My husband and I were staying with my elderly mother in law when our son called around 5 in the morning to say the house was on fire. We rushed there, so thankful our son got out alive and didn’t sleep through it. Yes, it’s just a building, but it’s your building and your memories. Sending a hug. I’m sure the Cog Squad will surround you, your family and friends with love and support.

    When I was child our family home burned, no one was home. We were shopping & came home to fire trucks & a blazing house.
    No one was hurt &
    We lost almost everything- material possessions.
    Wonderful Neighbors took us in :
    My parents, 4 kids & my Grandma!
    My Dad built a new home on the same land & we lived in a trailer as we rebuilt.
    I understand - to some degree your feelings - I was a child but decades later have my very vivid memories of my 1st home.
    Ryan was right- you just go on.

    I am so sorry for your granddaddy building lost and all your jars. It is very difficult to go through a fire. We went through a house fire on December 31st, 2023. Thanks, the Lord. My daughter woke up as the fire started in her room. We lost one of our pets, and our house was partially destroyed. This is the most devastating thing our family has gone through. Thank God, my family made it out alive. 😢 Cog Hill family is on my prayers. 🙏🏼 ❤

    Jason...this coastal Alabama gal understands the emotional loss a fire can cause. The day after my parents dropped me off at college we had a horrible fire in our home, I lost so many cherished things I had collected as a child in the 50's and 60's, old Elvis 45's, comic books,cameras...my whole childhood things that I certainly could have retired without a care after they were sold. But...my parents survived and they were only "things" but it still was an emotional loss. Sorry you lost your Grandaddy 's building Jason

      Good idea but they need a version with an added profit line to really re-coop the losses. I gave a suggestion in my personal comment about maybe making a memorial decal and charging a special profit margin for candles with that on it. Especially if they are able to salvage any of the jars to use for it. It would be necessary to pay the girls at the shop to make and place the decals plus an extra maybe $2 to pay for an extra new jar with each candle.

      @@carlapierle8623 that’s so sad and unfortunate, the building had significant financial value and was being used for a for-profit company, hopefully they’ll weigh it’s benefits and take out insurance on their new building in the future, I really hope it wasn’t arson. The same thing occurred when Jason’s grandfather’s home was damaged by a tornado about a year or so ago, the insurance had lapsed awhile back, so no coverage. I personally don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t carry insurance, especially since they live in a tornado prone region, just like we do here in Texas (plus we’ve had several hurricanes this season that caused a lot of damage and flooding, water finally started receding a few days ago in certain states).

    The loss of a family building like that can be very traumatic. We recently had to sell our grandparents grocery store / gas station / garage in Maplesville, Alabama. It was bulldozed and trees were already growing.
    A lot of memories for a lot of people in the community, all had connections to that grocery store in gas station.
    Certainly, you'll be able to take this loss as a business expense for your taxes. But that will not make up for the memories.

    I'm sorry for your loss. Buildings are vessels for memories. It sure can hurt your heart. A tornado went through our little town. For a few weeks, I cried every time I drove through. It was just seeing a place I loved hurt. You can't even tell now. Time marches on, whether we like it or not. Hugs.

    I’m so very sorry you lost your candle supplies. More than that is the loss of a building that held so many memories for you. Hugs 🫂
