I did not have the honor of knowing Officer Desha, but I cried as I watched her body pulled from the wreckage. As another female who would be proud to wear the police uniform, Officer Desha is someone I look up to. A life was cut WAY too short & another fine officer taken all too soon. My deepest condolences go out to her family, friends & fellow officers...

Officer Desha, your spot in the Lords Army is waiting. Thank you for your bravery here on Earth.

I shared a cubicle with Mr. Arnold from the first day I started work at our company. He was a friendly, kind and gracious man with a great sense of humor.

As Dennis and I came to know more about each other, I knew that I worked with a very special person, the kind that this world needs more of. I called him Mr. Arnold and he called me Roy T., we shared a deep respect for each other and gratitude for the gifts life has given us. He always reminded me of how great life is, if we would only take a moment to think about it.

Mr. Arnold, though we spent only 18 months as co-workers, you made me feel, as you did all you came in contact with, that we were life-long friends. Thank you for calling me your friend.

I extend my condolences to his family. God hold him close, he is one of your greatest creations.

Roy T.

Chris was a warm and caring person. He was always there to greet you with a big smile and a hug. He absolutely loved his life, his family and friends. As you can see, he would do anything for them.

Chris, you will be missed!

Paul was a wonderful man of God. He helped my sons numerous times when he was a counselor at Grace Brethren. He was always patient and kind and as helpful as he could be. We went to church with him for a number of years where he was known as a man who loved God. He will be deeply missed.

I saw Maria's mother on the Friday night news, desperately waiting for the whereabouts of Maria. It BROKE my heart. May God provide her with much strength and energy to function at this difficult time.

Keep in mind
  • The Times initially mispelled the name of Michael Hammersley and Beverly Mosley.
  • The coroner's office reported a 26th victim the afternoon of Sept. 15, but a few hours later said the tally was 25.
