It was early in the morning when my phone started ringing. I dont know how many calls i missed but eventually I woke up and listened to the voice mails I had. The first one is the only one I can remember and it was one of the medics from the base. All he could say was Allan, Tiffany, and Mike had gotten into a helicopter accident and there wasn't any survivors. Having worked with Allan and Tiffany for over a year there at the Shoals it litterally shook me to my soul. To me it was incomprehensible that something like this has happened. Tiffany the one that would get onto me for not acting right and then smile real big and give you a hug when you walked through the door. Allan and his midnight run to pick me up from the Waffle House after a long night. These people along with everyone at 16 were my family in Alabama. I realized that I had lost 3 very important people. The rest of the week was a daze and at times i still feel myself wanting to call them at the base. The world lost so much more than they will ever know. The countless lives they had touched and changed over there careers. I miss you guys, and I will always remember.
