Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Early this morning while returning from a flight to a Reno, the helicopter Chris was in went down near the Nevada/California border. All crew members were killed instantly. The cause of the crash is unknown at this time, but according to two eyewitnesses, appeared to just fall from the air. Please keep the crew and employees of Mountain lifeflight in your prayers.



In Memory of:

Pilot: Jim Rogers

Flight Nurse: Clint Reger

Flight Paramedic: Chris Ritz


Chris was a childhood friend of my dh's.. his younger brother's best friend.. and the whole family friends. Chris's parents were just here visiting us and we even talked a little about the dangers of being in the helicopter. Chris was divorced but a very involved father for his 10 yr old boy.

Please pray for Chris and his whole family.

Absolutely heartbreaking! We'll pray for the repose of their souls, as well as for all of the family and friends who will be mourning them!
