Having family that works EMS, my heart and prayers are with families at this time. There is comfort knowing they died doing what they love to do...saving lives. Every time the beeper goes off, we pray for a safe return. Let's pray and hug those close to us. GOD BLESS

While reading over the story again, I realized that Stephanie Waters was a Paramedic that I had the opportunity to work with when i was doing ride outs. She was a wonderful person to work with and very professional. She will definatly be missed. I had the opportunity to watch her in action on several occasions. my thoughts and prayers are with her family and of the families of the pilot and flight nurse.
