Hi,
This website has stories of all nineteen men.
http://www.azcentral.com/news/arizona/articles/20130705yarnell-fire-andrew-ashcraft-obit.html?nclick_check=1

Joe Thurston: The couple had two sons: Ethan, 7, and Collin 4.

Scott Norris: Karen Norris said when her son traveled, he sent descriptive, entertaining e-mails, and once in a while, he even penned a poem. The Grand Canyon was a favorite place, said Scott’s sister, Joanna Norris.“Even when there was no dire need, he went out of his way to be there for those whom he loved,” said his girlfriend, Heather Kennedy.

sorry for all the posts but I wasn't sure how much I could put in one post....

Friends said Woyjeck was close with his two younger siblings.
“His brother is a spitting image of him,” Fabrigas said. “They were best friends.”


I am interested in making a quilt or two (no particular family in mind)but could you tell me when they are due and what the requirements are?
