Addie and I want to thank the countless people here in Plum and across the nation for your love and prayers. We would especially like to thank all of the police, firefighters and first responders. For many of them, this is their neighborhood, too. My heart hurts for all the families living through this terrible tragedy. While we, along with so many here in the Rustic Ridge neighborhood, are processing this tragic, monumental and eternal loss, it is your love, prayers, support and donations that give us the light and strength to take it one second at a time. Please continue to pray for all of us here in Rustic Ridge, and we appreciate you allowing us to grieve privately as we move through these days ahead.

Thank you

Jen and Addie Clontz

And all of Keegan and Casey’s loved ones
