I had this video of past members who have passed. It is not current. I want to made a list of where they are. Many may have family still but some may not. I hope one day we can organize a group of volunteers on a day to go to the site and remember our past members of SCFD and honor their memories and clean up their resting place. If you know any information please IM me and I will make a list and gladly share.

In Memory of our fallen Brothers and Sisters 1
