Chad called Mark Westman late last night. Mark said that breaking the news was the hardest thing he's ever done.
My running partner, Matias Saari, wrote a piece about the accident for the Fairbanks Daily News Miner.

This is a deeply emotional time for me. I am constantly impressed by how every experience we shared was so intensely positive. She had unrivaled energy and enthusiasm. Although 15 years older than me, I felt old and conservative in comparison. She enjoyed life more completely than I thought was possible.
I am coming to Seattle tomorrow (Saturday) night and will be there until May 7. I am looking forward to sharing memories and celebrating her incredible life.

- The breadth of her relationship to us is far reaching, her friendships deep and long lasting. Ever in motion, she lived three lives every day, her broad smile and infectious laughter gracing each moment. She was a natural storyteller, in delivery and in experience, for they were her stories, unembellished. To summarize her would be a travesty of embarrassing proportions; even for those of us who were characters in her stories, our remembrance is but a moment of her rich life. If you live only one life each day, these stories will be a window into an existence extraordinary. Yes, if you were close, if you were acquainted, and even if you never had the opportunity, these stories will help all of us in the years to come, our years without Lara.
