Three Outstanding Men

Life is precious. Family is precious. This is what I have learned this week. Tragedy struck in my family on Monday with news that my sweet Uncle Ron and his two sons were killed in an airplane crash while on their way to a father and sons fishing trip in Oregon. I could go on and on about examples of why these men were amazing but no words can do it justice. They just were.
Jed Mingo, 32
SLC, Utah

Jordan Mingo, 26
Lehi, Utah


Ron Mingo, 62
Paul, Idaho


And so it goes in situations like these, my mind has been racing with thoughts of ANYTHING that I can do to help....anything at all, and besides prayers there is only one other thing I can think of doing.

Jordan left a young wife, Shelley and three young children behind in his untimely death. Shelley is now faced with a daunting road ahead of raising these three children(one born just three short months ago) under the age of four without the love of her life and rock by her side. There has been a paypal account set up in Shelley's name that will take donations of anyone who would like to help. A little (even $1 or $2) adds up to a lot and the more word gets out, the more this young mom will be helped. Below are quick directions on donating to Shelley:

1) Click on following link http://wherearethemingos.blogspot.com/
2) On right side bar you will see donate button under paypal
3) Enter payment info and it will be sent directly to Shelley's account
