AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUGH

A friend of mine just died. Helicopter crash, no survivors.

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn.

I was closer to his wife than to him, so I guess I should say a friend of mine just lost her husband. She's a wreck right now. Hasn't eaten for a day, that sort of thing.

Damn.

Some phone calls you just don't want to get. Ugh. Sigh.

Now comes the rounds of telephoning, the staying with her so that she will eat, the organizing some kind of memorial...

Damn.

Kathy Batterman was her name, and they were flying back to HQ at night after dropping a patient at a hospital. The pilot became disoriented and flew the copter straight into the ground.

I still cry when I read that. She was an amazing person, doing what she *loved* to do.
