Condolences

[Ronald Gross]

The loss of a life is tragic, regardless of who is lost, what they did, who they were and how they died.  It is always so very sobering, however, when we loose our own, and we are faced with the knowledge that "There but for the Grace of God go I", and so too our families.

The medical community has lost three angels of mercy.  The families of these angels have lost so much more - and all that we as a community can pray for is that the souls of those lost and the lives of those that live on be comforted with the knowledge that they are not alone.

"When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure".  I hope that the families of those lost are blessed with many, many treasures.  My prayers and thoughts go with them.

Ron

3 Dead in Medical  Plane Crash in Mont.
Wednesday, February 07, 2007

MANHATTAN, Mont.  -  A medical airplane headed to Bozeman to pick up a
patient crashed as  it was preparing to land, killing all three people on
board, authorities  said.

Benefis Healthcare in Great Falls confirmed its "MercyFlight," a  King
Air 200 turboprop, crashed Tuesday night. The pilot, a nurse and  a
paramedic were killed. Their identities were not immediately  released.
 
It is always sad to witness a  sudden loss of life, and it is especially sad 
when a member of the medical  community is lost.   Our thoughts, prayers, and 
condolences are  extended to the many family and friends of those who lost 
their lives in this  plane crash in Montana.,   May God grant each strength and  
understanding during this time of grief and saddness.
