A Sad Loss of Life

Last night, two young coworkers were killed in a nasty car wreck. I worked daily with these two. The driver was the young man I replaced when his clearance went away and the young woman was the one who taught me how to do his job.

It has been a very very trying day at the office. Everyone and I mean everyone cried at one time or another. These two kids (I call them that because anybody under 50 is a kid to me)made quite an impact on the office and were very well liked.

We learned this afternoon of the sererity of the crash. The car became airborne, about 10 feet, flew into the woods, hit two trees and then went nose first into a third. Neither wore seat belts. Estimated speed - 100MPH

It's a lot easier to be mad and sad than just plain sad. We'll learn more tomorrow but there definately is a hole in the office today.

God bless them.
