My name is Diana Plumley, a close friend and appointed spokesperson for the Yearby family and one of Hatak's moms. We have just returned home after spending the last 11 days with the famly of Marine Lance Cpl. Hatak Yearby. The family has asked that I post the following:

"Relatives,

On behalf of our family, we express our heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of love & compassion for our family & Hatak. Words alone cannot express what this has meant to us. Your prayers have been felt. We had no idea how many lives Hatak had touched & we thank you for loving our loved one.

Respectfully,
The Yearby Family"


So many have asked, "What can we do". For those inclined to honor our son in some manner please note that a scholarship is being established by the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Foundation to honor Hatak Yearby's memory and sacrifices. Tax deductable contributions can be sent to:

SOSU Foundation
Hatak Yearby Scholarship
P.O. Box 4187
Durant, OK 74701-0609

Please be sure to include your name and address and make sure that your remittance is marked for the Hatak Yearby Scholarship.

On a personal note:

Thank you so much for your prayers and comforting words, the family appreciates your kindness. Should you have any questions or need to contact them, please feel free to email me at designmaker2003@yahoo.com and I will forward your messages to the family.

May God richly bless each of you.

Diana Plumley & family

FYI,

I was just at the memorial Powwow for the Chanate Family this past weekend which was a very good celebration and remembrance for those who knew them.

At the powwow they had a blanket dance for the Yearby's and raised over $100.00 plus which will be forwarded to the family.

I wish everyone a safe weekend where ever you might find yourself.
