A fire on Friday destroyed a family home in Murfreesboro, TN...
The fire occurred just two days after Melissa Ashford lost her husband Herbert who was known by friends and family as Roho.
Ashford told us that she was not home when the fire happened.
Ashford's family believes that someone started the fire on purpose. They told us that the Fire Marshal's investigation looks to be leaning towards arson.
One year prior to her husband dying and then her home being destroyed by fire, her son Zack died. Ashford recalls how he loved football at Oakland High School where he played...
Now, Melissa Ashford is forced to not only pay for her husband to be properly buried, but to also rebuild her life as her home and everything in it was completely paid for - but she did not have ANY insurance to cover everything that was lost, including her home.
HELP Melissa Ashford:
Friends of Mrs. Ashford have set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to pay for funeral expenses.
