I've just learnt from my cousin
brightglance's LiveJournal that a cousin of ours, Coleman Mellett, was one of the people killed in the Buffalo plane crash. He was 34.
You can read more about him on Eimear's LJ
here.
We had never met, but I'm sorry for his loss, and my heart goes out to his family for losing such a young and talented man at such a early age.
