[QUOTE="Tourmax, post: 207768, member: 5304"] A fine friend of our family. An acquantance to me, a co-worker and friend of my wife. doesn’t help that I spent 9 years in the Jaw and worked with the Snowbirds many times. Lots of good stories, lots of stories that can’t be shared...;) [MEDIA=facebook]3123351784370167[/MEDIA] well, that didn’t work so cut and paste will have to do: “Statement on behalf of Captain Jennifer Casey’s Family [ATTACH type="full" alt="8CBEA131-494D-4D41-90DF-665524FA559B.jpeg"]40425[/ATTACH] Captain Jennifer Casey, our beloved daughter lost her life on Sunday, May 17 in Kamloops, British Columbia while supporting an important mission that seemed to be designed for her.
