Three particularly poignant posts and reflections on Captain Casey's demise. Thanks to those who posted. I am mineful that tomorrow is Memorial Day here in the US a day when we remember those who have given their lives for their countryMy condolences to Captain Casey's family and all who loved her. RIP
Rest in peace Jennifer. Thank you for your service. My condolences to all your squadron mates and your family. You will never be forgotten.
From the CF Snowbirds Facebook page:
Early this morning, our friend and teammate, Captain Jennifer Casey, lifted off from Abbotsford on a CC-130J Hercules for her journey home to Halifax. In a private ceremony, we honoured and bid final farewell to our fallen comrade. In the face of this tragedy, the tremendous love and support of people from across Canada, but particularly Kamloops and local First Nations, has been a light in the darkness. From Legion tributes to Drumming Circles to neighborhood support, it has been overwhelmingly encouraging during a very difficult time. We want Canadians, but particularly the people of Kamloops, to know that all the love you have shown for Jenn, Captain Rich MacDougall and the Snowbirds is deeply appreciated, and will never be forgotten. Thank you.

Her parents gave her wings.
She learned to fly.
As we are reminded of all the people you touched and made better, rest easy Captain Casey.

I was on the side of the highway for the motorcade! It was definitely a sight to see, I hope I don't have to see another one for a long time!
