    “I dont know if anybody posted on this here ,but I thought Id pass the news along.And sad news it is!! Charles aka Packlite from Backpacking.net lost his eldest daughter in a rockslide.



    Note to forum users - the moderator team recieved the following note from Packlite this morning.

    Just to let you know my presence here might be scarce the next few days, although I might come here for a distraction, but my oldest daughter was in an accident yesterday and didn't make it. All three girls in the car were crushed by a rock slide on Snoqualmie Pass.

    The story is here: http://www.komotv.com/stories/39137.htm

    Anyway, friends, pray for my family. We love her dearly. She was sweet and friendly - 28 years old.”

    Prayers for Packlite and the other family members. We've lost an adult child if you ever need to talk to a kindred spirit.

    Default There are no words I know.

    I can't think of adequate words to express the sympathy we all feel for Packlite and his family.

    May God give him and his family comfort and peace.

    I've done business with Charles several times in the past. He is a wonderful man and I'm sure he daughter is too. A traggic loss.
