By now I am sure that everyone has heard about the tradedy that has struck the Pederson Family. Here is the lastest update.
Carrie (wife and mother of 2) will be buried in Colorado Springs. She was an Air Force Academy graduate and wished to be burried there. Her infant son, Lucas, will be buried with her. No date has been set.
There will be a memorial service here at the base, but no date or time has been set yet.
Ashley, Jim and Carrie's daughter had a great night. She is talking and off the sedation. Hopefully she will be released from the hospital soon.
For those wishing to help:
To make donations to help offset the cost of travel, hotel, food, and rental cars for Carrie's family, donations can be made at First Arkansas Bank and Trust under the name "Pederson Support Fund"
