Today our hearts are sad for the brave men who died tragically in the Arizona wildfire.
They were called the Granite Mountain Hotshots and they were part of the Prescott, Arizona, Fire Department.
The sorrow of their loved ones, left behind, is heart-wrenching.
Children will never see their fathers again.
Wives have lost their partners, their beloved husbands, who never dreamed they wouldn't be coming home.
The tears of mothers and fathers, who will never again hug their sons
on earth, will fall.
Brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents and friends will all mourn the tragic loss of men they loved.
It goes to show how quickly life can change.
May the souls of the brave firefighters rest in eternal peace.
