LANSING - Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today issued the following statement on the University of Michigan Survival Flight tragedy:

"This is a heartbreaking day for the University of Michigan community and for the entire state of Michigan.  These six members of Survival Flight were true heroes, devoting themselves to helping make organ donation and transplantation a reality for people facing life-threatening conditions.  They have given the ultimate sacrifice in their mission to serve others, and their work and sacrifice will not be forgotten.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims' families and their extended family at the University of Michigan."
