We found out last night that a friend of ours died in a climbing accident. Bobby & Laura Silva have been good friends of ours as we have gotten to know them through married student activities and general life on Multnomah's campus.
While they were rockclimbing in the gorge, Laura & Bobby's brother fell from a climbing pitch. TC (Bobby's brother) died at the scene, and Laura was life-flighted out but died from her injuries later. You can read the article at http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_040509_news_rock_climbing_death.a7601d67.html.
Bobby & Laura were very special people. You could always see them outside their apartment hanging out with other people, BBQing and having a good time. They are both avid sportsmen, so much so that Bobby bought Laura a gun for a wedding gift when they got married!
I can only imagine what Bobby is going through right now, so please pray for him as he mourns the loss of his wife and his brother. Please also keep their families in your prayers, as TC has a wife and two small boys. May God give them great comfort and peace in this difficult time.
