That is terrible news! What a crazy world this is at times. Love and light to his family and friends! Life is fragile, and we should always know that things can change instantly. I want to express my gratitude for all of you guys! Having this website and the comradery it offers makes my days much better and I appreciate the many friendships I have created through BoS.

sincere condolences to the family and friends of these young victims. nothing is worse than the loss of a life yet to be fully lived. all is not right with the universe when this happens.children are supposed to bury there parents -not the other way around.

 

aside from offering consolation for the parents' loss the next best thing other parents can do is realize the leading cause of death among young drivers is auto accidents in which an under 25 y. o. driver is involved. then train their young drivers to know and respect the dangers they face behind the wheel.
