http://www.nasa.gov/HP_news_03060_bb_030208.html
The Astronaut Spouses Group released the following statement on Friday,
Feb. 7.
"We, the spouses and children of the NASA astronaut corps, would like to
thank the people of the world from the bottom of our hearts for the
incredible outpouring of support and love that you have shown us in our
time of deep grief.
"NASA centers have been overwhelmed with cards, letters, emails, and phone
calls from you expressing your concern and support. We have also received
hundreds of personal calls, emails, flowers, food, and cards at our homes.
The makeshift shrine in front of the Johnson Space Center is overflowing
with flowers, signs, and balloons from well wishers from all over the
world. Memorial services throughout the world have honored our dear
friends. You, our brothers and sisters of the world community, have been a
tremendous source of comfort and love to us and we are so grateful. We are
deeply mourning our dear friends Rick, Willie, Mike, Kalpana, Ilan,
Laurel, and Dave and we ask that you continue to keep their parents,
wives, husbands, and children in your thoughts and prayers.
"We would also like the world community to know that as terrible and as
difficult as this journey has been and will continue to be for all of our
families, we cannot stress enough how blessed and honored we feel to be
counted as members of the NASA family. We proudly support the noble goals
and objectives of NASA and we will continue to support NASA in its finest
and its darkest hours. It is our deepest hope that you also will continue
to share in our belief and support of NASA's dreams. We believe NASA is a
beacon of hope and light to all nations, for NASA has proven beyond the
shadow of a doubt, that peoples from all races, genders, cultures,
religions, and political backgrounds can transcend those differences and
become the closest of friends. And these friends will continue to pursue
space exploration and scientific discovery for the single purpose of
helping and furthering all of mankind. Thank you for your love and
support.
"The husbands, wives, and children of the NASA Astronaut Corps."
