Melbourne, Australia, Plane Crash Victims Obituary
Four of the people aboard the small plane were U.S. citizens. Names of the victims were not released pending notification of next of kin.
One of the victims, however, was identified in a Facebook post. Denelle Wicht said her brother Greg De Haven had been killed while flying to another location to play golf with two of his friends.
"My handsome athletic big brother was killed today in a plane accident while on his 'once in a lifetime' trip to Australia," she wrote. "It was a charter flight with two of his friends flying to another island to play golf."
The United States embassy in Canberra, Australia, confirmed that four people aboard the plane were U.S. citizens.
"We extend our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died in today's tragic crash," a spokeswoman said.

The lost of a loved one is never easy, tragic lost can be devastating but we go on...because we have to, because our loved one would want us to...we go on. There will be many hills and valleys in the days, months, and years to come and eventually the sun will shine again and joyful memories will fill your heart and smiles will come and peace will come.
May the God of all comfort, family and friends give you strength to go on. My deepest sympathy for your loss.

Death can never separate those bound together by the ties of pure love. I wish ALL types of planes/helicopters were made of the same material as those little black boxes and while we are at it, how about automobiles.
