Hi everyone, I received a call from my friend yesterday with bad news. Her husband was climbing the mountains in Wyoming, alone. He was to be back on Monday but didn't arrive. She called me crying saying they were sending a search team out to look for him. They found his camp with tent and other belongings. Day pack was gone. I received this email today from my friend..... I don't know who knows and who doesn't. The past few days have been such a blur to me. Last night, five men from the Cheyenne Fire and Resucue Department, friends, coworkers, brothers, of my husband and very best friend in the world, brought his body off a Mountain. Doug had been climbing, doing what he loved. He made the summit of two 14,000+ mountains that day. He signed in and left his mark, stood on the top, threw his hands in the air, his head back, and yelled at the top of his lungs "I AM KING OF THE WORLD!" It's just what he did. =o) Sometime on his way down, he slipped and fell, it was a fatal fall. I am broken. I can't see now how I will make it through. I know that prayers are with me, I know that God is here, although I don't always fell him right now. I keep hoping and praying that the peace and comfort comes. This morning, I have to face six children and tell them that their daddy and stepfather is gone. I don't know what I'm going to say or how I'm going to make it through. Please, PLEASE keep us in your prayers. ******************************************* My heart is so heavy with sadness. They just had a baby girl 4 months ago. In Dougs memory I am raising money to open a college savings account for Kira, their baby. I am selling bracelets. They will be Purple and black to honor his detication to the Cheyenne fire department and one red, one white, and one blue crystal to represent his time served in the Marines and as a Navy Seal. The beads used for the bracelets will be swarovski Crystal. If you are interested in supporting the fund please email me. thank you all for listening and God Bless. Love and hugs, Chrissy

Hello Chrissy, My heart goes out to your friend. She will be in my thoughts and prayers that she gets through this awful tragedy. I hope and pray for her and her children that they survive this sadness and have a happy life in the future. My god, such a tragedy. So sad. Please give her our love and let her know she has an angel watching over her now, if that is any comfort to her. Losing a spouse so young and with children is awful. I pray she gets through this. God Bless to all. Hugs KimC

Dear Chrissy, I'm so very sorry for your friends loss. I will pray for her and her family to have strength during this sad time. When something like this happens, it's hard to know what to say that would be of comfort. But just being there for her is helpful. Love, Esther
