Take a moment to remember that Sierra is a company, but a company of PEOPLE.
A tragedy of the worst kind struck Sierra this weekend. Read the story here:

This was ripped from VoodooExtreme:
[quote]Jason and Kellie Cosner went to Mount Rainier National Park last weekend to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, to spend time together amid the natural Northwest beauty they had grown to love since moving from Florida a few years ago.
They only made it a mile and a half into the park.
Saturday afternoon, as they drove toward Paradise, the top of an enormous hemlock tree snapped loose in a sudden gust of wind and plunged 75 feet to crush the Bellevue couple's sport-utility vehicle, instantly killing 26-year-old Jason and gravely injuring Kellie, also 26. [/quote]
I had the pleasure of speaking with Kellie when the B5 sim was still in limbo, during S14's second push to grab the game. Kellie was gracious, understanding and sympathetic to our cause. My condolences to her and her family; I hope she pulls through. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/frown.gif[/img]

Very sad. It's strange how some of the better ones get treated so poorly by the world...

"great life, great love...great everything... but you are living on credit... and along comes the karmic debt collector..."
(well that's how I explain some people seemingly undeserved and beautiful people get cut down well before thier time...)

[i]"Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain."[/i] G'Kar, Season 3

I hope the choice of the following quotes doesn't offend anyone for being too trite:
[quote]
[i]"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the Universe."[/i][/quote]
[quote]
[i]"Here is the greatest truth I know: Your death, Rastenn, will have a meaning if it comes while you're in fullest pursuit of your heart."[/i][/quote]
Perhaps there's comfort, as well as tragedy, to be found in the hope that they were both celebrating a wonderful anniversary with their soulmate, something many will never enjoy.

[i]"I have looked into the darkness, Na'Toth. You cannot do that and ever be quite the same again."
All around us, it was as if the Universe were holding its breath... waiting. All of life can be broken down into moments of transition or moments...of revelation. This had the feeling of both."
"G'Quan wrote: 'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against Chaos and Despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"[/i]
