The Forestry Forum

Yesterday afternoon, Jan and I wondered why we had a big detour to negotiate on our way home from town..  The reason was terrible.  Good friends and good people crushed in their car.  The only saving grace, I suppose, is that they went together.  They were rarely apart in life and are now joined for eternity.  The headline was a shocker, I had never regarded them as elderly, they didn't live as if they were.  They were just in the middle of building a new house. If only the truckie had secured his load properly.

Sorry to hear that. I lost a friend to a runaway trailer a few years ago. 43 years old.......Real shame when folks dont think about how their actions effect others. I knew two folks (married highschool sweethearts) from my highschool that died together in a plane crash in LA many years ago. I see the trees the family planted on their farm in their memory everytime I am back home in Ohio.

Im sorry to hear you lost some good friends my condlences to you and their family as you said the only saving grace was they went together as we had that hppen to an old couple in my home town and it just devastated the one who survived  :( :( :'(

Sad news indeed.  Sounds like they led a full happy life together though...   

Very sad!

Sorry to hear such news Ernie.
