Ocracoke Fireworks Explosion Victim Survived by Young Child

By Pierce Egerton

In an even more tragic turn to the Ocracoke fireworks explosion, that took the lives of four people last Saturday, it has been brought to my attention that the woman who died in the explosion was a single mother. Lisa Simmons was the mother of an 8 year old son.

A trust has been opened in his name, and I encourage anyone who is able to make a contribution on his behalf. The account has been set up with Wachovia. Simply tell them you want to make a deposit to the Trust account of Avery Jackson Simmons or give them this account number: 1010233955827

The sole survivor of the accident, Marquez Holland, continues to receive treatment at UNC Hospital. And underwent surgery for his injuries on Tuesday. "A doctor at the burn center told the AP that Holland is expected to recover but will need extensive therapy."
