  12. I came across this site while looking up info re: the firefighters. I personally know the mother of the youngest firefighter Grant McKee who died. I know Grant's mom Marcia would treasure to the end of time a quilt honoring her son. It would touch her heart so much. If someone does choose her name I can provide you with contact info.
