I would just like to say something.....I have been following this page<br />

and I am thankful that <strong>the</strong> admin allows me to. I have read so much<br />

courage and support <strong>from</strong> all of Sitka and want to say Thank you<br />

for everyone and <strong>the</strong> support <strong>from</strong> this community. I visited just 2<br />

weeks prior to this event happening while visiting family and when<br />

I heard I was devastated. we had rented a home right off of HPR.<br />

We enjoyed <strong>the</strong> beauty of of Sitka <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> people that lives <strong>the</strong>re<br />

and of course <strong>the</strong> scenery. My mom (Tlingit) is <strong>from</strong> Sitka and To<br />

be “home” is incredible to say <strong>the</strong> least. I wish all Sitkans well during<br />

this time and moving forward. I hope <strong>the</strong>y find Mr. Stortz and<br />

give his family closure. I have a son who is <strong>the</strong> same age at <strong>the</strong> Diaz<br />

bro<strong>the</strong>rs and relate to <strong>the</strong>ir loss as if it was my son. I just want to<br />

tell you <strong>from</strong> an outsider <strong>from</strong> New Jersey that I am really proud of<br />

you all and what you do for your community and life itself. Thanks<br />

for reading. Sincerely, The Silvanio (Didrickson/Williams) family. I<br />

wish I could do more.
