It was a typical march afternoon for Angie Lowery. Home from work, sitting down for dinner with her youngest son Ryan.
"The sun was shining and out of no where a storm came up," Lowery said. "A lightning bolt struck."
Firefighters would later confirm the lightning hit Lowery's water heater and like a stack of bone dry matches, her Dallas Bay home caught fire.
"I screamed get out of the house, the house is on fire," Lowery said.
She and Ryan made it out unharmed, blessed to be alive, no doubt, but gone were a few priceless items cherished by a family that bleeds Tennessee orange.
"It took about 15 minutes and I lost everything," Lowery said.
Photos and memorabilia signed by Peyton Manning, Pat Summitt and Phil Fulmer. Once displayed with pride in this bookcase, left a charred mess.
"That definitely wasn't easy to see, especially because I know how hard my mom worked to put everything in that house," Lowery's oldest son, Austin, who wasn't home at the time of the fire, said.
While insurance took care of the replaceables, Angie's loved ones, coworker, Dr. Rodney Susong, and her friend, Alan Pressley, went to work on the rest. First, they arranged a secret meeting with Fulmer in July.
"My parents got to go in with us. He just sat down with my parents like they were a bunch of grandparents sitting around a table. He was awesome," Lowery said.
Just before Christmas the signed memorabilia started rolling in, all with a personal touch from Tennessee's new director of athletics.
"It means more to me than I can even express. It's a highlight, something that I'll cherish with mom and dad and my boys forever."
