In Memoriam:

To the LifeNet flight crew and family friends and coworkers

We unfortunately lost 4 heroes and gained 4 more angels.  You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

-  Brad Harrison

To: Randy Bever and Chris Frakes

Without hesitation, you answered the call-
Willing to help one and all.

As angels you came out of the sky-
The last hope of a patient about to die.

You took to the air, there was a life to save-
But in the end, it was your life you gave.

You left this world with your friend-
Flying together until the end.

RIP Randy and Chris!!

Words are far less than adequate to express the heartfelt empathy I have for the families, both work and personal, of Randy, Chris, and James. I pray strength for you in the coming days, weeks, and months.  Try to find comfort in knowing the many lives they saved while working at a job they loved.  Godspeed….

By Thy resurrection from the dead, O Christ, death no longer hath dominion over those who die in holiness. So, we beseech Thee, give rest to Thy servants in Thy sanctuary and in Abraham's bosom. Grant it to those, who from Adam until now have adored Thee with purity, to our fathers and brothers, to our kinsmen and friends, to all men who have lived by faith and passed on their road to Thee, by a thousand ways, and in all conditions, and make them worthy of the heavenly kingdom.

Happy Easter
