What a wonderful way to honor the skaters who died on Flight 5342 and their families. Certainly a tragedy and loss for the world. I will be sure to seek it out and watch the tribute. Skating is the one sport I really enjoy watching.
ReplyDeleteWhat a special tribute to a group of talented skaters. Their lives and talent touched our lives and will stay in our hearts forever.
ReplyDeleteThis is, indeed, a wonderful way to pay tribute to the young skaters whose lives were tragically lost on that I’ll-fated flight.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful touching tribute to all those skaters who tragically lost their lives on Flight 5342.
ReplyDeleteOh that is a great way to remember those who were lost in a tragic accident. I'm sure that many are still reeling from this and it will be wonderful to see an event to honor those who were so tragically lost.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the headsup on this, I had no idea it was being done. Competitive Figure skating was my sport as young girl, for all of my youth, til I was 20 years old. I lived on the ice, and truly know how this loss would be so hard to handle. It really is a very very tight community and the loss of these young future stars and others on that flight is gut wrenching.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this wonderful tribute. Peace, love, and blessings to all of the families and friends of those affected.
