Investigation sometime this afternoon, no details on what happened yet but out of respect for the family do not post about this.

Still very fresh wounds for a lot of us.

Sorry, I just looked for unread threads. Its a shame that phpbb doesn't maintain that stuff properly.

Well we all know who it is now if you look at the news posts. The families have been notified. Ben and Laura are going to be greatly missed at the gorge. A memorial is in the works but we are waiting to talk it over with the families and what their wishes are. So as more is known we'll let you all know. But call your families and loved ones and let them know you love them. You never know when your time will come. And keep Ben and Laura's families in your prayers.

Hearing the news from afar gives one a sense of helplessness.

Our thoughts are with both their families, and those of you in the Red.

Pull together like the community you are and take care of yourselves as you remember a good friend.

As you grieve, know that remember is to do exactly that. Piece together the memories of a lifetime.

Kim and Jake
