Knowing the great service you have done working for AirMed, I feel you deserve a small donation from me. Many years ago my son was flown to the UofU Burn Unit. I am forever grateful to everyone that did a part in helping my son heal. Here is my paying it forward. I wish you the best with your new job and new beginnings.

Our dear friend Beth Fisher had a budget moving truck full of all of her belongings and her vehicle stolen in Draper Utah this past week as she was planning to relocate to West Virginia. The truck was found by police fully engulfed in fire. Please help us band together as friends and family to help her rebuild! Every little bit counts!

A NOTE FROM BETH TO ALL OF YOU:
It's late and I'm finally getting the chance to take a look at the GoFundMe page. I am floored... moved to tears... and in shock.

I just want to pass along my heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed, no matter the amount. Not only does it bring a bit of comfort to me, but it's putting my mom at ease too as she's been very worried about her "little girl!"

I'd also like to share a bit of news. Yes, probably 99.9% of my possessions with any monetary value were destroyed but I was brought to tears by the few things that did survive. It seems that despite the inferno that turned most things to molten plastic or ashes, the things that meant the most prevailed. Afghans my mom made for me on deployment, the afghan my grandmother made when she got married, the wooden box my great grandfather crafted more than a 100 years ago, the 4 glass water goblets that belonged to my other grandmother, etc... All of these things by rights should have been destroyed.

I am a fighter. I will get through this. I was grateful that no one was hurt... seeing that I have a few mementos, even more grateful. Knowing that people-- strangers and friends-- are so wonderful and caring brings me tears of happiness!

Thank you and God bless!

With deepest gratitude,
Beth A. Fisher

Left For Dead

When violence from the drug wars with the Mexican cartels crosses the border into Arizona, and an old friend is murdered, Ali Reynolds steps in to investigate in New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance’s fast-paced mystery.

When Santa Cruz county deputy sheriff Jose Reyes, one of Ali Reynolds’s classmates from the Arizona Police Academy, is gunned down and left to die, he is at first assumed to be an innocent victim of the drug wars escalating across the border. But the crime scene investigation shows there’s much more to it than that, and soon he and his pregnant wife, Teresa, are both under suspicion.

Ali owes Reyes a debt of gratitude for the help he gave her years earlier. When she’s summoned to his bedside at Mercy Medical Center in Tucson, it’s impossible for Ali to turn away. Upon arriving at the hospital, Ali finds her good friend, Sister Anselm, is there as well, working as a patient advocate on behalf of another seriously injured victim, an unidentified border crosser who was raped and savagely beaten.

As more bodies begin to pile up, Ali becomes determined to seek justice, even when it becomes impossible to know where the danger is coming from. Fast-paced, tension-filled, and intriguingly complex, Left for Dead is J.A. Jance at her riveting best.
