I sit here stunned. This wasn't a war casualty. It wasn't a natural disaster. It was an ordinary day during an ordinary week in which five individuals were doing what they did best. Their chosen career. Saving lives and comforting the sick and injured. These people are forever heroes. So many peoples lives have been turned upside down by this tragedy. My heart goes out to the family, friends and co-workers of both air crews and their patients. May you somehow find comfort during this upheaval of your lives. While you mourn their loss, try and remember to celebrate their lives. Never forget that they will always be watching over you. May your God be with you all. Please accept my most sincere condolences.

I wish I had words that would ease the pain of such a loss, but nothing I can say will take the pain you all are feeling away. I can only express my deepest sorrow at the needless loss of our comrades in flight. I would like to extend our condolences and deepest sympathy to the families and loved ones of those lost. It is rare that someone gets to work in a job that they truly have a passion for and it is always sad when a co-worker or friend dies in the line of duty, but it is important to remember that not only they were doing what they loved, but that the world is a better place because of their efforts. Our hearts go out to the entire Guardian team, the friends, co-workers and families and loved ones of our fallen colleagues lost in this tragic event. Please know you are all in our thoughts. Pat and Shawn’s passion and dedication will be missed by everyone.

"Just Call On Me
I can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.
I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings--Amen.
Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
I’m waiting to come to your aid.
Just call on me, and I’ll walk down that road,
Until the dark times start to fade."

Have not fear for what tomorrow may bring. The same loving God who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and everyday. He will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations- Francis de Sales

I just lost my sister-in-law in the Med 12 crash. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and co-workers of the crew.
Miss Me - But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, Why cry for a soul set free.
Miss me a little, but not too long, And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me, but let me go.
For this journey that we all must take, And each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan, a step on the road to home.
When we are lonely and sick at heart, Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss me, but let me go.
God Bless!

I was shocked to learn about another medical helicopter crash while I was on shift yesterday. There have been too many in such a short amount of time. I hope that everyone can find peace in knowing that these crews were living their dreams. Having recently lost a friend in a med chopper crash, it brings back a lot of the feelings that I thought i was finally getting over. We (in the EMS community) put others lives before ours every day, and I hope that those of us still on this Earth can learn to live each day to the fullest because we know all too well that each day may be our last. God speed, Angel 1, you will be forever in my heart. Blue skies forever

To the families, friends, and co-workers of these brave individuals, my heart goes out to you all. Having recently lost some very good friends and co-workers of both mine and my husbands in an air medical crash, I know the pain you are feeling. I know the sense of shock and thinking "I can't believe it happened here, to us." Trust in God and cherish the memories that you have with these loved ones. Remember their smiling faces. I will keep you all in my prayers. God Bless.
