I'm glad you responded back favorably. I wasn't sure if I should post the image - but I decided the hurt couldn't be any worse and maybe it might help.

Your right Charlie. The public news coverage with many of their images has numbed me some. I never expected all the coverage along with their images. That's why I was going to put an image to my post request for folks to reach out to their loved ones quickly. You did good... Brad

ORGINAL 1ST. POST UPDATE ON THREAD: I added some photos of her from within the last 3 years... I can't thank you t-net folks enough for your support. Next week will be better... I'm hoping.

Brad she was skilled and knew exactly what she had to do to save those people the news media be damned! The law is on her side. You have given 2 angels to heaven. They are together that is some comfort.
The hole in your heart will always be because a part of you has been taken, but you will survive. There are others that need you.

It was on the news here and I knew immediately it was them, and prayed for you all. Prayers are continuous.
From the timing on your phone calls the angels are busy supporting you. That is not coincidence.

Our love and prayers to you and your family always.

Brad, again, I'll keep you and yours in my prayers during the days ahead. I also have shed quite a few tears reading about these wonderful two people and about your loss. I can't say anymore than has already been said, except to say know that I'll continue praying for you and your entire family. God bless all of you and give you comfort.

I most extremely am Bill... The decision my daughter made is one I would have made even with Carter along myself. I taught all my children to help others in time of need no matter the circumstances. And I truly hope if I was in a bad crash sometime (was) that somebody would have helped me and my wife under any circumstance also. That's what soldier's, law enforcement and rescues personal do everyday. But if YOUR the first one on the scene you do what you can!!!! I would... and I would certainly want YOU to also. YOU step up... and any training or experience will come back to you. Kristi had a lot of medical training and her mind worked "like a trap" under stress. That's the way she was wired. I am totally proud of her before and now.

Some of her attributes and attitude came from me but she took it beyond something I had to deal with. But she did it. And the area social media critics who question her actions are the ones I pray are not following me or YOU down a highway when we're in peril.

I love you Kristi and Carter with all my heart...! Dad / Grandpa.

Somebody Kristi knows started some fund and her husband said it's amazing the out pouring of support coming forth for him and their 4 year old daughter. I'm so proud and thankful... Brad

I'm not real tech savvy Bill nor do I know where the link is. My wife is trying to find it also because she now has request for it also. I'll call my daughters and ask. Thanks, Brad

Brad,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I cannot imagine the pain you are experiencing, but I really do hope that you find some comfort in your family and friends, now, and in the times ahead. As a paramedic, I have a deep respect for what your daughter did, to come to the aid of those people, putting the lives of strangers ahead of their own. I will wear a black ribbon on shift today, in memory of your daughter and grandson. Again, sincere sympathy and condolences from my family, to yours.

Thank you Frank for you words, phone call and donation. I know you run "close to the bone" and I know her husband John will appreciate it friend. Kemp this goes for you also guy and EVERYBODY who helped them out. My family can't hardly believe the help that has poured in in just a few hours. I just don't know what to say to represent my gratitude... Brad

Thank you... That's a wonderful thing for you to do sir.

EVERYONE... I GREATLY appreciate your kind words, thoughts and prayers. I can't respond to every post but I do appreciate your notes. An old classmate of mine called this morning and we talked for about an hour. He was online somewhere and said he saw my name along with this story and called me. He has a silly sense of humor as I. We both made each other laugh and it was a great diversion and calming. I also realize I'm not the first man to deal with something like this but you folks have sure helped.

I guess it's something like this: When your neighbor is out of work... it's just a recession. But when your out of work it's a depression.

I'm in the depression mode.

sandchip.... Thanks for making those two calls today... I hope others follow suit.

Viewing is Saturday 3-7 at the Williamson Memorial Home in Franklin TN. The funeral is 1:00 pm Sunday.
