  We lost Alicia Archer Thursday night in a head on collision with a texting driver. No more details at this time.

This is terrible news.  She was a bright and vibrant person, someone that we needed around here to raise the bar, diversify the viewpoint, and stand as a model for young women coming up. 

All I can say is this arrow was broken far too soon.

What a waste. Being a firefighter I've seen the aftermath of people using phones when driving. Thoughts and prayers with her friends and family.

Is there anything we can do for the family?  Is there an address where we can send cards?

I am on my way.  I'll make up the hole in my budget somehow or other. Thank you, Steve.

Wow, crazy stuff.  Really sad to hear that.  I still see people texting and diving up here even with the severe texting laws in place

Sad news indeed... I s'pose I shouldn't really say it but I hope the ******* texter died as well, if if not I hope their conscience gnaws away at them for the rest of their life.
These idiots with their phones... probably some totally trivial message anyway. Makes my blood boil >:(

I'm not familiar with her as others are but that's tragic and sudden news.The opposing party will have to live with the thoughtless act and it's consequences.My prayers go out to the victim here as well.

Our condolences to the family of Alicia.  We did not know her, but this post is like a family of like minded people.  I hope the administrators can forward this entire thread to the family.

As for the other driver, I would hope the investigating officer and the DA have very heavy pencils, and a long list of charges to bring.

Days after we lost Alicia, the young lady I had been dating the summer before hit a deer on her motorcycle and was killed. 

Then a few days after that, our great horned owl died of a massive coronary blowout.  All this in quick succession put me into a tailspin and I ended up in a dark place for much of this winter.  I was thinking about Alicia last week again, and I rededicated myself to encouraging people around me, especially the young ones. That's one of the strong points of this community here and I certainly appreciate how so many of you stay consistent in your positive approach to new members.  Most online communities are insular and clique-ish.
