Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the deceased teens. We PRAY that the survivors EMBRACE life, their family, friends and hope that they recover quickly from this “horrific” nightmare. May they remember the good times that they shared together and “Thank God” that they had another chance at life! May we ALL learn to live one day at a time and never take our happiness or health for granted. This should be a “wake up call” for everyone to always “WEAR A SEAT BELT”! LIFE Is fragile and “Nothing is forever”!
May God Bless everyone involved in this terrible accident.
