Hillsdale County (MI) Dispatcher Loses Son in Traffic Accident

If you could pass along to the 911 community that Dione Kirkendall, a Hillsdale County dispatcher with 15 years experience dispatching for Hillsdale County 911, Adrian City PD, and Reading Emergency, lost her 17 year old son Taylor in a traffic accident the evening of July 6, 2011. Taylor's father Bob is a firefighter with the Pittsford-Jefferson Fire Dept and his older brother Bradley is just finishing his paramedic training.

We have set up an account for contributions to the family at County National Bank, One S Howell, Hillsdale, Michigan, acct #410249296, http://www.countynationalbank.com/ if anybody would like to make a contribution.

Please keep Dione and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you.
