Tribute

This past week has been very sad for my family. My cousin, Kari, lost her husband a week ago today. The sad story is explained here: http://www.myfoxphoenix.com/dpp/news/local/tempe/...firefighter-laid-to-rest-12-12-2009

It is hard to see how a Higher Power didn't have a hand in this tragedy. It was Skylar's time to go. He was described by his father to be a great son, and by his Firechief to be the best firefighter, and by his mother as a miracle. I am so glad to know of our Father's plan for us and that we will all be together again. I don't know how people survive tragedies like this without that knowledge. Kari is an amazingly strong woman. Five years is not long to spend with the love of your life. Those precious kids will only have the memories of others to remember their father with, but they are good, strong memories. So many people are comming together to help Kari and her family. If anyone feels the desire, an account has been setup at Wells Fargo in the name of Stock Family Donation Fund to help support Kari short term as needed. The acct# is 7218152986. Skylar we love and miss you. An excellent father, husband and selfless example to us all. http://www.a...bc15.com/content/news/southeastvalley/tempe/story/Tempe-firefighter-dies-when-tree-falls-on-tent/qz0klcUsR0exyQK8Hcs1HQ.cspx

We love you Kari and you will always be in our prayers! Rest in peace, Skylar.
