Ellsworths

Go Here for an update on my friends, the Ellsworths. Lansing and Dallin died in the Moab plane crash last year (one week after Stephanie and Christian's plane crash). Marie (far left in bottom photo) keeps a nice blog about her family and how everyone's doing. They are incredible people - the kind I aspire to be like.

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.
