We are overwhelmed with grief for Christian, Stephanie and the Doug Kinneard family; and now for our friends the Ellsworths. Lansing Ellsworth and his son, Dallin were killed in another tragic plane crash Friday in Moab, UT, just 6 days after Christian and Stephanie's crash. I wish I could accurately express our sadness this week. But I will just say that our prayers are with the Ellsworths now too.
Lansing and his wife, LynAnn are both from Mesa and I became friends with them while they and I were living in Tucson. They are extraordinary people with faith and service at the heart of their beliefs. Never a bad thing to say about anyone. Never a complaint. Always positive and giving. Wonderful parents. Much like Stephanie and Christian. My heart aches for LynAnn, their 3 other children and all of the extended family, as well as the families of the 8 other victims. Words cannot express.

Sarah-
I've been completely consumed by the whole Stephanie/Christian thing; I can't imagine how sick you must be. Yuck. I'm so sorry. We will add them to our prayers, as well.

Oh Sarah I am so sorry for your loss. We too will add them to our prayers. Is there anything we can do for you and Mark? Please let us know.
Another horrible tragedy. I can't even began to imagine how you are emotionally handling it all. We'll keep all of these families in our prayers.
Sarah, please let us know if there is anything we can do. We love you and Mark and Owen and Jonah and Grace and Molly and Pearl and Milo and Norah and Isaac and Aaron and Elliot and Ryan and Jessica and Emily and Steve and Abby and Jamie and Amye and Dennis and are so grateful.
Matthew and I are reading in this with awe written all over our faces. We are so sorry for you and Mark having to be so emotionally, spiritually, and phyically pained. We will pray for you, your family, and friends. These moments would be beyond comfort without knowing our Savior's love, our Heavenly Father's plan, and the comfort given by the Holy Ghost. We are blessed to know these things. We pray that they will be brought to your breaking heart.
Diana, that was so sweet. My heart is heavy today for all of these families. The enormity of loss is beyond comprehension. I pray that God will help heal broken hearts. AG
Thank you. All of your comments are very comforting and help me have some perspective.
Jon and I are praying and are so sorry for your loss.
Hi Sarah,
I know--Marc and I were stunned to hear about Lansing and his son's plane crash, too. We'd just heard that it was a dermatologist from Cedar City and had a sick feeling that it was probably him, then we did some checking and, sure enough. Sean Pattee said that his son's wife was 8 months pregnant with their first baby. What a sad week, indeed. Oh, and I'll be bidding on that quilt. I've been pestering Liz Bryant to ask you how much you'd sell one of those to me for, anyways!
Thanks Eliza. Thanks Karen.
