Our four fallen friends honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. They made sacrifices so others might feel comfort and safety. They provided solace to people who had no place to go. They thought of others before they thought of themselves.

They knew the dangers but accepted them with unyielding grace. It was the only way they knew to live their lives.

They were once angels that flew to the aid of the injured and infirm.
Now they are the angels who watch over us all.

May God bless you.

Our heart goes out to you as you suffer the terrible grief
over UK Aeromed flight crew 4-3-Echo’s untimely death.
Surely there is no greater pain in the universe, than for a Medical Center,
to lose flight crew.

There is no sadder task than laying to rest one’s so dedicated

The question of why God has allowed this to happen is beyond
our inadequate ability to answer. I do know that God loved
Flight Crew 4-3-Echo unfailingly and was with your FLIGHT CREW
as it crossed from this world into God's eternal care and keeping.

Be assured that we will be upholding you in prayer, and stand
ready to assist you in any other way that we can.

I express my condolences to the families of the ones lost. This hits me hard since I have worked next to each one at one time or another when I worked with CareFlight. The paramedic was a great friend that i know from working with Georgetown Fire Dept. My prayers are with the one big family we are all a part of. I know it hurts to lose a loved one so close. In time we will deal with this. There will be more pain before the sorrow ends. I know I speak for all at Station 2 Lexingtong Fire Department Second Platoon, we are here if you need us. God Bless you all. You all will be missed.

Knowing that they were at any minute ready to answer the call to help those in need. I know the flight crew of 4-3-Echo died in the line of duty doing what
they were trained and loved to do. Knowing that they can make a difference in somebody's life. The lord has a special place for them and I will always remember them as HERO'S.
For the families who lost their loved ones my deepest sympathy and sorrow.

Being a pilot and former Paramedic, I know that they loved what they did by helping others. This particular time is extremely hard feeling the loss of this crew. We lost an entire crew during a medevac mission in Colorado and post crash ivestigations make it difficult as well.
