When I was a kid I would go with my dad and his friends to this restaurant.  It was owned by a husband and wife duo. She ran everything and she would hostess and he cooked.  Everybody knew them, talked to them.  I ended up living about two blocks from that place for a really long time.  They had sold that restaurant, but opened another in the same shopping center.  She drove a yellow Mustang so there was no mistaking if she was there or not.  As it happened they lived in Kyle's delivery area so he got to know them too.  Through the years I heard different things about them, saw them occasionally, ate at their new restaurant.  Just last week, on a date I was talking about them because this boys sister works at the first  restaurant they opened then sold.  They have always been in the peripheral of my life, for over 15 years, in a lot of little "wow, isn't it a small world" scenarios.  Today they were both found dead in their home, of an apparent murder/suicide.

Fair warning, if anybody needs to prefaces anything they tell me with "I have some bad news..." I'm just going to walk out into traffic.
