I just got word that a very close friend of mine was killed in a car accident last night. They were running a raft shuttle in idaho lost control of the vehicle then crashed in to the river and she drowned. Her husband was packing up the boat. I am stunned. They stopped at my house on the way to run the clearwater, and I was invited to go on the trip. Incredible.... I can't believe it happened.They are my rafting friends; we did the Grand Canyon together, and we were scheduled for a couple trips this summer. This is the second friend I have lost this summer, I couldn't stay at work... I am just too upset. -- MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com > I just got word that a very close friend of mine was killed in a car > accident last night.

More of the story has emerged this afternoon and my friend Gay (who was killed) was shuttling cars for the river trip. My friend Karen was in the lead vehicle and she lost contact with Gay on the CB radio so she back tracked but couldn't find her so she stop back at camp to get the guys. They back tracked looking for her and saw where she had gone off the road. One of the guys rushed down the bank and pulled her out of the vehicle. Her seat belt was still on and the cab was covered in water. By then it was too late. They were about 2 hours from any medical services. They were on the North fork of the Clearwater in Idaho. I can't imagine how my friends must feel today. She will be cremated tomorrow then they head back to Oregon for the memorial. Incredibly sad and shocking. They were here last Thursday. It will be a very sad 4th of July. -- MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com ((((((Mary)))))) I am so sorry. That's just awful. Thinking of you, Carol >I can't imagine how my friends must feel today. She will be cremated >tomorrow then they head back to Oregon for the memorial. Incredibly >sad and shocking.

My friends are all pretty distraught right now. The Sheriffs office and Forest Service were worried about Mike (Gays husband) having a gun because he was so upset. I guess she didn't want to drive that vehicle and the shuttle, and Mike asked her to do it. He is blaming himself, Karen is feeing guilty because she didn't look back sooner. Corner is looking into whether any of Gay's meds might have caused her to black out. They are in a state of shock, I will try to call Karen again today. I hope they will be safe driving home after all of this. I guess Larry had to dive in fairly deep to get to the cab and break the window with a rock. Mike wants to sell his raft, I will see if they need help this weekend and maybe head down that way. She was a nurse and hospital administrator, well liked by her peers. They put flowers and cards in her office, I guess everyone in the hospital was pretty shocked. When I had trouble with Pacificare and my infusion Gay offered to give them to me at home. She had done many Chemo treatments when she was a nurse. -- MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com Is it possible that something happened to her to make her loose control of the car? Thinking heart problems here but might be something else. More than likely she was just knock unconscious on her trip down the bank. So very sad.

She said the car tracks just drove off the edge, and they were driving slow. She said there were squirrels in the road and wondered if she had swerved to avoid it. They are in the Columbia Gorge headed home I will be taking off for Ashland and will spend the weekend. We will help Mike clean out the closets, cry and laugh together and just remember. They said the rescue team and authorities in Orofino were extremely kind and helpful. Mike is doing a bit better but still in shock, they have spent every minute with him. Gay was cremated today. I have shed many tears over this one and will shed many more. Imagine going on a vacation and coming back with your spouses ashes. -- MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com Oooh Mary,,,, I am so sorry you are going through this. It takes time. It takes tears. If you start to swell in any joints, if your pain levels go up,,, please tell your RD about what is taking place and let us know too. Some time later if you feel like talking about trips or rivers and your friend,,,, well,, you know this is the place.

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Visit my website: > http://www.mzuschlag.com I think it will be good for all of you to get together this weekend. Hopefully, you can help Mike and Karen deal with all of this some more. It especially sounds like MIke needs friends surrounding him and keeping an eye on things for a while. All of your are blessed to have such good friends to help in times like these but your closeness makes it even more devastating whne someone is lost. Give each other lots of hugs........

A father had lost his son, who had been kayaking in New Zealand. Of course, the father was grief-stricken. But he also said that it helped him to know that his son was living the life he loved -- even tho' that life had associated risks & dangers. It only helps a tiny bit, I find, to reflect upon this when I've lost friends -- but it does help, for me, that tiny bit. May your heart, and the hearts of your friends', find ease with time.

The title song comes from a Native American legend that says that when someone dies, another star appears in the sky. I knew my Mom's would be a very bright one, and the music helped heal the pain.

A river friend of mine is a poet so we asked her to write a poem and she just sent this out. I just love it, it captures essence of what I love about the river and friends: Exhale into wilderness. Journey with rivers Wisdom in the flow. Complete the evening circle, Crystal rings of laughter Beneath the stars. Tell the stories again That begin "remember when..." I will be looking for the butterfly. -- MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com Lovely poem, Mary :) - Mary MacT http://www.alamedacreek.net That is beautiful Mary. I sent it along to John.
