.....................................................In Loving Memory................................................................

My good friend James Taylor passed away this past Friday, he was the only survivor of the medical helicopter crash in Arizona, but died 6 days after the crash, when his family made the impossible decision to take him off of life support, and let his struggle end.

James and I went through nursing school together and both had the goal to one day work on life flight. He recently got the job of flying with the medical team outside of flagstaff, AZ. He was soooooo excited and called to let me know that he got the job, i was so jealous, but so excited for him. He will be missed, he was a great nurse and a great friend. Although this is a tragedy, I'm glad he was able to accomplish a life long goal and die doing something he loved......

We'll all miss you James, thanks for making those long 2 years in school more bearable!
