Two lives were lost and countless others changed forever when fire swept through a mill in Salisbury eleven years ago. As it has every March 7 since then, the community will gather to remember the sacrifice of Justin Monroe and Vic Isler, and to pay respect to all who hear the call to run towards danger instead of away from it. A special ceremony will take place at 8:30 at Salisbury Fire Station #5 in the 1400 block of South Main Street on Thursday morning. “To say the pain of losing my child has eased after 11 years would be a lie,” wrote Lisa Monroe, the mother of Justin Monroe, in an emotional Facebook post. “But what I can say is that I am more at peace about that day than I have been in the past. Sometimes you have to search your soul and find peace within. I am so thankful that God allowed me to be your mother. I enjoyed every minute of everyday with you. I will forever love you. I will talk about you and keep you alive with every breath I take until we are together again.”
