BEFORE:    OTT, DUBOW, and STRASSBURGER, J.*

CONCURRNIG MEMORANDUM BY STRASSBURGER, J.: FILED MAY 03, 2018

     I join the Majority memorandum holding that the trial court did not err

in concluding that Adrienne and John Kantz did not have an enforceable

insurance contract under these circumstances.     That legal conclusion is in

accordance with the law in Pennsylvania.

     I write separately to point out that this legally-correct result is harsh.

Adrienne Kantz sent a check to Everett for coverage during this time period,

and she believed that the property was insured. However, either the Supreme

Court or the Pennsylvania legislature would have to change the law to provide

coverage under these circumstances.
