Tori Crutcher, 16, and Alec Crutcher, 13, were passengers in a 1998 Chevy motor home travelling east on the Cherokee Turnpike, one half mile east of Kansas, Oklahoma, when the vehicle left the road and struck four concrete bridge pillars.

Tori and Alec passed away on Saturday, July 24th, 2010, from injuries sustained in the accident.

For six years afterward, their family and friends gathered in their name. This website was made to keep those years: the photographs, the gatherings, and the people who showed up to remember them. Our angels in heaven.

A newborn asleep in a blanket
Two boys behind a birthday cake, balloons waiting
Fishing at the edge of a still pond
A baby laughing in an oversized ball cap
A child in sunglasses held close, both smiling
A little girl in a denim skirt, caught mid-step
