Heartbroken for the crew and family.

I forwarded the video to a friend who is a longtime friend of pilot, he said the same thing. This one hits close to home as it was a Shrine flight.

Dear Fellow Nobles,

We are heartbroken to share with you that one of our patients and her mother were aboard the small plane that crashed in Philadelphia yesterday. The young girl had received care from our Shriners Children’s Philadelphia team, and they were on their way home to Mexico, via air ambulance, when the crash happened. Because of patient privacy concerns, we cannot say any more about the patient and her family at this time.

The tragic loss of the young patient and her mother is devastating, and we can only begin to imagine the sorrow our Philadelphia hospital staff are experiencing. They provided this child and her family all the love and care that Shriners Children's is known for, and they are deeply grieving. We want to express our gratitude for the unwavering kindness, compassion, and hope they selflessly gave to this little girl and her mother during their time in Philadelphia.

Words can’t adequately convey the sorrow we all feel at this tragic loss of life and promise. Our philanthropy’s extraordinary mission brings us together to serve children, and today we are mourning together.

Yours in the faith,

Richard G. Burke,
Imperial Potentate, Shriners International
