My second grader just joined cub scouts. I get a panic attack just thinking about what happened. I can not even begin to imagine. Those were wonderful young men who were taken that night. I pray that their families will have strenth and comfort.

I would just like to say that I am sorry for all of those four boys who were killed during this horrific accident. God Bless Everyone. If your child was one of those boys, God Bless You and Pray for God's protection.
