Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the families of these courageous people
who dedicated their lives in helping others and gave their lives to help them.
God bless you at this time!

My heart goes out to Kamber. My first husband was killed when I was expecting
our fourth child. I have some idea of the heartache involved. My prayers are
with you Kamber and all the families of those who lost loved ones. May you find
comfort in the knowledge of their continuing love for you.

Kamber, and all of the families, you will feel their presence and know of their
love. They are not far away, just unseen. I promise you'll feel him by your
side guiding you and your son.
to everyone, my deepest sympathies and condolences in this tragedy.

I was raised near Lansing in Mesa, Ariz and enjoyed a great childhood with him
in our ward and neighborhood, what a great guy he always was, top in school and
always kind to everyone. I can honestly say He was the best of the best in all
he did. I know He will be missed as it sounds like He's continued to live
his life that way. So sorry for your loss, He will be missed, Love Janelle

My Father-in-law worked closely with Dr. Ellsworth at Valley View Medical Center
in Cedar City. They were close, and he was quite shaken by the news. Apparently
Dr. Ellsworth was quite a remarkable physician, he was trained not only as a
medical doctor but also as a vet, and he was also a qualified pathologists in
addition to dermatology. This is a huge loss to Cedar City and Southern Utah.

When tragedy occurs especially at this magnitude it is difficult to find proper
expressions of support. Please know you are in our hearts and prayers. We
cannot know of your shock, disappointment, fear, and heartache you must be
feeling at this time. I know that Heavenly Father will be with you and watch
over everyone that has been affected by this terrible accident. They are in
Heaven and what a glorious place to be and I know they will be watching over you
and guiding you through your lives. May the Lord's choicest blessings be
with you.

Kamber and Family,
We are shocked and saddened by this tragedy. We know, however, that you will be supported by the Lord and those family members and neighbors who love you and want to help carry your burdens. Please know of our love. I could tell that you two were a wonderful couple when we first met Dallin at your reception, and what a blessing that he will be yours forever! Much love to you all.

Keith Shumway was a great friend and always kind to others. I really enjoyed
spending time with Keith who had a great love for others. My prayers go out to
the Shumway family.

We are shoked here in Ukraine at hearing of the tragedy. We pray for all the
people lost. Dear Mandy worked with kids in one of the schools in Kiev and she
was a very good teacher, a devoted friend and a wonderful personality. We will
remember her and love her always. She managed to do a great job here in Ukraine
and won hearts of Ukraiian kids and of us all.

I did not know anyone in the crash but I send my warmest love to all of the
families. It breaks my heart for you. It is so sad, also, because they were
all going someplace to help other people.

what a horrible tragedy. It seems every month we hear of a small plan crash
somewhere in the news. I have been in a small plane twice and I will never go up
again. The things are not safe.
Dr. Chappell | 1:26 p.m. Aug. 25, 2008
Dr. Ellsworth and his staff will be sorely missed. His visits to Richfield
saved our patients here in the Wayne County area hundreds of miles of travel. I
always enjoyed my conversations with Dr. Ellsworth. He was an exceptional
physician and human being. My patients and I will all very much miss him. Jeff

I AM VERY SORRY. I AM VERY SORRY. ITS TRAGIC TO HAVE SUCH GREAT LOST. MY
FAMILY SUFFERED SUCH TRAGEDY IN THE MONTH OF FEB. 2008 AND I CAN CERTAINLY SAY
THERE IS NO WORD FOR IT - BUT TO LIVE EACH DAY AND TRY TO MOVE FORWARD.
Kelly Stewart | 5:27 p.m. Aug. 25, 2008
My heart goes out to all family members for their loss in this horrible tragedy.
I was a patient of Dr. Ellsworth, he was a wonderful doctor who was very caring
for his patients. They and their great service will be greatly missed by me and
others here in Sevier county.

Marci Tillery was only 29 years old and mother of two young boys (ages 6 and 4)
and wife to Matt Tillery. Matt works for Union Pacific Railroad. Marci worked
many places putting herself through college (graduated 2005 suu science major),
walmart, mcdonalds, youth corrections. She was a dedicated worker and friend.
She will be missed.
She and her husband just bought a house in Enoch a year or so ago. Please keep her "boys" in your thoughts and prayers.

was one of his patients and was treated by Dr. Ellsworth on Tuesday last week, I
know that they all were special people and they will continue their work in a
special place. our prayers are with all their families. and for ever will be
gratefull for knowing them.

Our family lost 3 children in a car accident a few years ago. One thing we
learned was that when good people are taken in an untimely way, it is their time
to go. Otherwise the Lord would preserve their lives. Accidents happen, and as
you continue to walk forward without placing blame, you will feel the peace and
healing power of the Atonement--and it will be sufficient. God bless and keep
you. You are in our prayers.
skw | 11:36 p.m. Aug. 25, 2008
My deepest sympathies to all who have lost loved ones. May you feel the loving
arms of the Lord around you. May you feel peace as you recognize the tender
mercies that will come in these most difficult moments. Go forward with faith,
knowing that He is always there.

I am Mandy Johnson's sister-in-law. We are all so grateful for the
kindness shown to us. When you know people care about you it lightens
impossible burdens. Our family, friends, and community have shown us such love.
Thank you all for sharing how Mandy has touched your lives. She truly was a
wonderful woman, and it's so nice to know that she has touched lives around
the world. Thank You.
Harold & Loretta Hinton | 7:24 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Bevin, Susan and family. We just heard of Mandy's death today. Our hearts
are breaking for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Mandy is such a
breath of fresh air, and a ray of sunshine whereever she went. Her Grandpa
Johnson will watch over her now. Our love to you and all the family.
