I was so sorry to hear of the accident. I think of Hetty and her family often now and think back to the great times we had working together. I remember when Corey and Hetty flew into Seattle and drove in an ice storm to make a district christmas party in Mt Hood Oregon. They cherished every moment with friends. I will never forget them.

We can only keep you and them in our prayers and offer our sincere sympathy to all of you.

Additionally, watching Corey play for the DU Pioneers. I have numerous fond memories of 'Killer' Carlson. #24 in the DU Crimson and Gold will never be forgotten.

We remember Hettie playing soccer for West High when Terry and I coached for WHS. Smiling, enthusiastic and having fun...that's how I remember her. Seeing her beautiful family pictures and reading about them, tells me she continued to love life the same way.
There is nothing we can say to the Carlson and Barnett families that will ease the pain of losing this amazing, young family. We hope you will find comfort in knowing how much they are loved, admired and now missed. May the sweet memories of this truly beautiful family embrace you during this difficult time. God bless you all. The Curran Family
