We had all been hoping that the report was mistaken, but it has now been confirmed.

A small plane crash this afternoon took the life of my friend Rhonda Badeen-Lunn, along with the lives of her three teen-aged children, Kathryn (16) and 14-year old twins Michael and Adrienne. The four were flying to Houston to spend Fall Break with Rhonda's parents, and their pilot was a family friend and much-loved local Episcopal priest, Dr. Bill Wiseman, who also died in the crash.

In addition to being a good friend, Rhonda was my ob-gyn for 23 years -- ever since we moved to Tulsa when my daughter was 8 weeks old. She was also the first person to see the face of my son. Rhonda always had a smile on her face, and a kind and caring nature. Her children were smart, active, and full of promise. I remember how excited Rhonda was when she found out she and her husband were pregnant for the first time. She was thrilled to finally "put all that theory into practice".

Please send prayers for Bill Lunn. How does a man handle losing all that's dear to him?

Nancy, I'm very sorry to hear about this tragic loss. I'll be thinking of you and the others who touched by this awful event.

It's tempting with stories like this to try to reach for eloquence. I can't even try -- words can't express it. I'm sorry.

Such sad news.

Most definitely they are in my prayers.

Heartfelt prayers to you and to the father and husband.

I can't even imagine how you open your eyes after a loss like this.

Hugs to you Nancy.

Words fail me too. I will add him to my prayers.

So sad. Prayers here.

Condolences to all their friends and family.

My heart is heavy for the entire extended family as well as yours.
Words are little comfort at a time like this.

Oh, Nancy, this is so terrible. My heart goes out to all left behind.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Nancy, I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Kelly

I am so sorry Nancy. This is horrendous.

I saw this reported on the news as "storm-related," without knowing the tragedy also would touch anyone here. My condolences go to your doctor's husband, the extended families of your friend and the pilot, you, and the students at Cascia Hall, who lost their friends, too.

My condolences to you, their families, and everyone who knew them.

My heart breaks for everyone whose heart is breaking. May they all find peace and a purpose to go on.

Good thoughts your way and toward others left behind.

Thoguths and prayers coming for you, your family and the loved ones of those involved.

What a tragedy. My condolences to all who knew them and especially the hubby & father. What a horrible thing to happen to you. No one and I mean NO ONE deserves this.

My prayers to all involved.

Ellen

How terrible. My condolences to you and to the surviving husband and father.

This is one of those times where I wish we could change or delete avatars for individual posts. Doesn't seem appropriate for threads like these.

Nancy, I'm so sorry to hear about this. My prayers are with you and the families of those involved in this tragedy.
