Well, first dad, then mom, now this. Bev's brother Jay (Louis Lamb) was killed along with 2 friends also in the plane last week. We just returned from Sublimity, Oregon yesterday. Here's the story:

http://www.kptv.com/news/15254656/detail.html

I sure hope the rest of this year is a little more mellow. These 3 were hunting buddies headed for Utah for a hunting convention when the plane went down. A (lucky) 4th buddy was waiting to be picked up at Klammath Falls, Oregon--of course, they never arrived.

Jay leaves behind a wife (Pam) and 4 kids; Stacey, Casey, Mindy, Taylor; and 3 grandchildren; McKenzie, Caleb, and Connor (Stacey's children).
