Shout Out to a Friend!

Celebration of Life

Vol 3, Iss 5 Stillwater, Oklahoma -

"When you come to the edge of all the light you have known, and are about to step out into darkness, Faith is knowing one of two things will happen; There will be something to stand on, or you will be taught to fly." Richard Bach 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull'

That light and darkness found & surrounded many families & friends this last weekend when a plane crash took the lives of 10, east of Denver, Colorado, just hours after the Oklahoma State University's basketball team finished a game against the University of Colorado in Boulder. 

 Sometimes grief picks us up in one place and puts us down in another.

Many grieving families & friends were picked up and deposited at Oklahoma State University (OSU) the last day of January 2001 as Oklahoma & OSU family encircled and reached out with compassion as thousands came together to remember and celebrate the lives of those 10 who lost their lives last saturday.

The public memorial service at 3 p.m. Wednesday (Jan 31) at Gallagher-Iba Arena, in Stillwater celebrated and remembered precious moments about each of these ten persons: Kendall Durfey - Bjorn Fahlstrom - Nate Fleming - Will Hancock - Daniel Lawson - Brian Luinstra - Denver Mills - Pat Noyes - Bill Teegins - Jared Weiberg. 

I have listed some links to Other Sites for more information for those who are interested...
