Friends and former co-workers are rallying around a Cloverdale woman, following the unexpected death of one of her twin daughters in Australia last week.Kolby Fraser, 21, died Feb. 13 when the camper van she was a passenger in lost control on the Arnhem Highway near the Northern Territory town of Jabiru. The 23-year-old driver – Kolby’s boyfriend – survived the crash.In recent years, Kolby, sister Koral and mom Tracee Fraser all worked at Charlie Don’t Surf in White Rock.And while it has been a few years since those days, the tragedy has hit hard nonetheless, said Arun Fryer, one of the Marine Drive restaurant’s managers.“We’re sort of like a family down here,” Fryer said. “If it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us.”To help ease the financial side of Tracee Fraser’s loss, Charlie’s will host a benefit for the single mom Thursday (Feb. 24).Details were still being finalized at Peace Arch News press time, however, organizer Tracy Gass said the night will feature an appetizer buffet, a silent auction and a wine board.Gass, who is a mother of twin girls herself, described Tracee – currently a server at South Surrey’s U-Lounge – as a friend. She said Kolby’s death was “so sad.”“She was a great girl. She was really smart, great head on her shoulders,” Gass said.Gass said she was told Kolby and her boyfriend were driving along a stretch of Arnhem Highway that is notorious for dangerous potholes when the crash occurred. It was raining at the time, and it is believed the couple likely didn’t realize just how big one of the potholes was. The camper van hit it and flipped, Gass said. It came to rest on its side.Kolby was due to return home from Australia March 1. A memorial service was held Monday at Relate Church in Cloverdale to remember a young woman who loved to travel, had a passion for life and “would want us to remember the good and happy times she had here with us.”Hundreds of people turned out to the standing-room-only service.Tickets to Thursday’s benefit are $50. To purchase, for more information or to donate items for a silent auction, Gass may be reached at 604-551-8071. Tickets will also be available at the door Thursday night, 15011 Marine Dr., from 6 p.m.
