LGBTQ Culture 04 Jun I’m a pediatrician who cares for transgender kids – here’s what you need to know Heroes Two days after a firefighter's death, hundreds of colleagues attended his daughter's graduation Tod Perry 06.04.21 via KTLA 5 Tragedy struck in Agua Caliente, California Tuesday morning when Tory Carlon, a more than 20-year member of the Los Angeles County Fire Department, was gunned down by a coworker at Fire Station 81. The assailant, Jonathan Tatone, died of a self-inflicted gunshot in his home later that day. "We do believe there was some disagreement over work performance and work-related issues," Lt. Brandon Dean said Wednesday. "How long it has been going on we don't know yet." The two men worked at the station on different shifts and had been clashing over operations and other issues. L.A. County Fire Chief Daryl Osby described Carlon as "truly dedicated, one of our better firefighters, amazing, and a true loss to our department." Carlon leaves behind his wife, Heidi, and three young daughters.

One can only imagine the pain she felt knowing that her father couldn't be at the ceremony. However, even though her father couldn't be in attendance, her extended "fire family" had her back and they made an impressive display. On Wednesday night an email chain was sent among L.A. County Firefighters asking them to show up to show their support for the daughter of their fallen brother. The next day, over 300 firefighters from L.A. county and neighboring departments showed up at Josyln's ceremony at College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita. The parking lot was filled with fire engines from all over the area and the firefighters lined up and stood at attention as Joslyn entered the ceremony.

"But I can see that we have quite an outpouring of support that is truly appreciated." "We're here to make sure that she knows we're all thinking about her," said Fire Department Capt. Chris Reade. "We found out last night, email goes fast, and we all dropped everything we were doing in our personal lives and came down here to show our support."

She was greeted by a chorus of cheers from the firefighters and a standing ovation from fellow classmates. When she left the stage she was escorted by a firefighter who is a close friend of the Carlon family.

"It means that we're always going to be with them," said Reade. "The Fire Department family is huge and strong, and they can come to us anytime for anything they need." A GoFundMe campaign has been set up for the Carlon family . It has already eclipsed its goal of $200,000. From Your Site Articles Firefighters are killed every year by wildfires.

"It's one of my favorite things to do," said Nurse Abate. "A lot of us need a little calm before the storm." Nicole | Heroes Behind the Masks Presented by CeraVe youtu.be In March 2020, after a fairly quiet start to the year, Nurse Abate's unit became the official COVID unit for her hospital. "It went full force after that," she says. Abate was afraid, overwhelmed with uncertainty, never knowing what was next on the wild roller coaster in this new territory, "just when you think ...we know exactly what we're doing, boom, something else hits so you adapt… that's part of nursing too." Abate faced her responsibilities courageously and with grace, as she always does, making life a little better for patients and their families "Thank you for taking care of my father," reads one recent letter from a patient's family. "You were kind, attentive and strong and we are truly grateful." Nurses are accustomed to losing patients—it's part of the job. The difference for Nurse Abate during the pandemic was watching her patients go through it alone. That's what hit her hardest and prompted her to bring an iPad into a patient's room so that the family could say their goodbyes via FaceTime before the patient passed away. "I don't think I have a greater honor than to be the person to hold someone's hand while they take their last breath," she says. "Nursi...
