Tye Blanton, NC

RECEIVED VIA EMAIL 6/26/08 FROM BOTH CHYLENE WALTERS AND LINDA CAVINESS:

"Most of you are aware of the young state trooper that was killed in HaywoodCounty Tuesday. Trooper Shawn Blanton left behind a wife and son. His son,Tye, was born 7 weeks premature and has been in serious condition since hisbirth May 31st. I just spoke with my friend, Mark, who is also a NC StateTrooper and worked with Shawn. He informed me that Tye was placed on life support this afternoon and is now very critical. The NC Highway Patrol is asking everyone they can possibly reach to please remember Shawn's son in your thoughts and prayers. If you feel led to do so, please pass this prayer request along. For the service, dedication and commitment that Shawn displayed and these folks show usevery day, this I can do. Thanks everyone."
