A public memorial service for the three victims of last week’s Mercy Air Med helicopter crash will be held this afternoon in Mason City.
Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa is helping to coordinate the community memorial service for Shell Lair-Langenbau, Russ Piehl and Gene Grell.
It will be held starting at 4 o’clock at the North Iowa Community Auditorium on the North Iowa Area Community College campus, with the auditorium opening at 3:30.
Mercy-North Iowa is also helping to coordinate donations to memorial funds to support the families of the victims as well as to fund a monument in honor of the flight crew.
You can donate through the hospital’s website at mercynorthiowa.com
