In respect of William Kirby, and condolences to his family, my prayer and wishes at this time are for Mrs. Kirby. My wife quite often askes me something to the effect of, "when are you going to let someone help you for once?" This can be a theme in Fire and EMS families, and I pray you are able to let all the ones Bill has stood beside in helping others for 20 years surround you with their wishes and intentions at this difficult time. I also know God is extending his strong arms to offer you refuge in your time of need. God Bless--AMEN

I am so sorry for your loss. I never forget that EMS technicians are just as vital to our safety as law enforcement, firemen and soldiers. They're all heroes and we should forever be indebted to them for their service and bravery. I'll keep you in my prayers.
