In the late 1990's, we were fortunate to know a great young family who'd moved into our neighborhood—Jeff and Tamara Olsen and their young son, Spencer. My husband and Jeff had a lot in common career-wise, and Tamara and I were friends and had a great trade going—every morning, she'd drive our 10th grade son to the high school where she taught (much-appreciated by this newscaster mom who got home late at night!). In return, I'd tend Spence after school before heading into work on early-out days. They were a wonderful family to know.
Then, in the Spring of 1997, we were sad to learn they'd had a terrible car accident on the way home from vacation in Southern Utah. It was an event that changed their lives forever—as well as those of every family member and friend they had.
