If you have sat around a table with friends or messaged each other in the last few weeks, surely someone has said "the whole state of Colorado seems to be on fire".

This is a pain that is too close to my heart. The realization of the loss for his family and friends is incredibly real for me. As we approach the 1 year anniversary of the death of my two youngest children (June 24, 2012) the death of Marcus Gonzales hits way too close to home and I send out my thoughts, prayers and love to all that knew this young man.

I am the only child of Riley and Lynda Gilstrap and that makes me smile from the inside out.
