My heart goes out to the Anderson family. It's difficult to understand why such a young, vibrant person was called to Heaven so early. May God bless Margaret and her family.

From all of us who have worked on the slopes of Mt. Rainier and appreciate so deeply the dedication and commitment of the women and men who serve as stewards of public safety and spend their days and nights protecting one of the most magnificent places on the planet, I would like to add my voice to those who are deeply affected by this tragedy on the road to Paradise. Mt. Rainier and the wild lands of our country have lost a precious friend and defender. My deepest sympathies to the Anderson family and her colleagues with the National Park Service.

Margaret was one of those once of those people who I felt truly blessed to have known. She was a beautiful person inside and out. The world lost a wonderful person. I pray that the family will find strength in their faith knowing that Margaret is now in Gods hands.

Duty takes many shapes & forms. You don't necessarily know them beforehand. And there will always be someone bigger ,faster, stronger & better looking. Yet the time will come when there's a job that needs doing and none of those people are around; All the job's got is you.

This officer was doing their job right up to the end.

Highest Regards

I can feel the hurt in the hearts of Margaret's family and friends for this great and senseless loss, and it is painful.

There is no tactical defense against madness, and so my prayers go to rangers and law enforcement officers everywhere who daily don their uniforms and put themselves in harms way to care for and protect the rest of us.

I read the report elsewhere and I had to see a photo of Park Ranger Margaret Anderson.

I just want to say that I'm terribly saddened, and the devastation of her loss is already touching hearts and lives in ways unimagined.

I can only offer my sincere condolences to her family, friends and co-workers.

I worked at Paradise for 5 years and Mt Rainier for 8 as a seasonal Ranger (Protection). Margaret's devotion to her job, the public and especially her family were indicative of every NPS staff person with whom I worked, even though I did not know her. Our prayers are with her family during this difficult time. Apparently her life was dedicated to serving God, and for that we are grateful.
