Thoughts and Prayers for IBD and family

Our hearts are sad, and our thoughts and prayers are with our good friend InletBchDweller (IBD) and her family. Her mother, Wanda Irby, and sister, Deborah Irby, along with friends Roxanne Costello, her husband Barry DeLong, and pilot John Johnson lost their lives in a small plane crash 20 miles south of Chipley, Florida this morning. No one else was aboard.

All four were residents of Seacrest Beach. They were in route from Destin to the Bahamas to meet Deborah's husband at their home there when bad weather is believed to have caused the tragic accident.

The SoWal community is already coming together and working to do whatever we can for IBD and her family during this sad time.

Rebecca, there are no words to express the sadness we felt at hearing the news of your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Your entire SoWal support group grieves with you. I remember having dinner with you and your Mom down at Seaside when I was here last and she was such a strong life force, delightful and engaging. I know that she was proud of her girls and you will always have her close in your heart.
