Gazing through trees in sorrow hardly a sound till tomorrow

I had a bit of really bad news when I got to work this morning. Two co-workers and good friends were killed over the weekend when their vehicle rolled over and embankment in the mountains.

It seems that Lyle and Denise (Daisy) had gone up to some hotsprings up above Harrison lake, and were coming home when something happened to cause the vehicle to go over the embankment. The weather this past weekend wasn't overly good; there was a lot of snow and rain to contend with, and from what I have heard, it might even have been dark when they were driving down.

I am not exactly sure when they were up there, but we were told that they were originally reported missing, and Search and Rescue had been up looking for them. Lyle's a very resourceful guy, and Daisy was a tough cookie too, so those that knew what was going on were hoping that they had just broken down. When Search and Rescue said they found a vehicle at the bottom of a cliff that looked like theirs, there wasn't much hope left. We were told that it didn't look like they had survived the fall, and that they perished quickly, not suffering for the two days that they had been looked for.

My heart goes out to their families, specially Daisy's young kids and new husband. They will be both missed terribly.
