Thank you!

  2. My name is Kale Nix Tarbet and I went to high school with Shelley and Jordan. We were never close friends, mostly just acquqaintances; however, since I hear of this tragedy both have been in my heart and prayers. You don't have to be best friends to share grief over someting so unfortunate. I have a young family myself and admire Shelley for her strength. I've read many of the comments on the blog and I agree with all of them. I'm sure Jordan is very sad also, and he doesn't want to see you hurt, let alone be parted from you. I'm also sure that he isn't as far away as it seems. Shelley, my love and prayers go to you and your family. I know they will be a great source of strength to you. I would like to help in any way I can. It seems a feeble offer, but I know I wouldn't mind others reaching out to me if I were in your position.
    I have a son who is 4 months older than Landon. I'd be glad to help with any baby supplies you might need.
    Take care,
    Kale Tarber

  3. I feel your pain. I lost my husband a year and a half ago when his plane went down near our home. He had two friends with him. They were on their way to Salt Lake to a hunting convention. They never made it. Actually, I didn't loose my husband. I know exactly where he is. Reading your blog breaks my heart. I feel your pain. I pray for you. Pam

  4. Shelly,
    I have been keenly aware of my family today, perhaps more than ever. I have had the Mingos on my mind all day. I have felt a lot of sorrow, some comfort, and a bunch of other feelings, including the feeling to leave work, drive home, and just be with my family. We are aware of you a lot, our family thinks of you during every prayer, and we continue to check this blog almost every hour. We love you, and want you to know we are here supporting and sending our love.

  5. How wonderful, I am so glad they thought of that. How loving. That is wonderful. Shelley, I am still thinking of you and your whole family. Regina, I don't know you, but I know that Shelley loves you, so I love you. I am so very sorry for losing not only your soul mate, but you 2 sons. I am just so sorry. I pray for you all day long

  6. Shelley.

    Auntie Barb here. Waking up this morning with a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. When you hurt, we all hurt. Wishing we could help you carry the heavy burden and pain you must feel. Thankful to know that the Savior will! You are in our thoughts and prayers every moment, honey. Hugs and Hugs.

  8. That is so neat. There are so many wonderful people all over the world. I am so grateful that there are so many people there close for all of you. It is hard to be so far away and feel so helpless, but knowing that there are those close that are there to help comfort gives us some relief for not being able to be there.
