    Also:
    Three other families are mourning the lose of loved ones among them Hazel Tracy, Boyd Billenwillms and Roy Duell. Hazel was the mother ofJolene Miller and another daughter Beverly from Fort Collins. Jolene told me she had been in the hospital, here and in Denver the past five weeks. I didn’t know the other two gentlemen personally but did know the sister of Roy Duell, Virgiline Amos of Goodland. To all of these people I wish to send my condolences to them as they face a few agonizing months in the future as they figure out where and what they will need to do to adjust to these loses. May they all know that the Almighty walks with them and at times will also carry them over the stones they’ll find in their paths.
