As some of you know, the Granite Mountain Hotshots impacted my family hard:  two of the nineteen fallen heroes were my nephews. The mothers, fathers, sisters, lovers, and friends of these men will never be the same. The beautiful grandmother lost two of her four grandchildren.

And yet, beauty was to be found. Prescott, Arizona, that wonderful hometown, rebounded with love and tears and support. Now, it is Orange County's turn ... Grant & Robert's family were from OC, and they had many friends here. This Saturday will be their SoCal memorial, and we want to Celebrate Them Big. They deserve it ~ They gave us everything.

Please contribute to their t-shirt fund on GoFundMe:


Thank you & God Bless.
And, go tell those you love that you love them. Today.
