Sadness At A Local Communtiy

This past week has been a very sad one for a local community. Last weekend they expectantly lost a 16 year old boy. He left home to walk to the grocery store to buy a loaf of bread for a sick neighbor. He did not return home, on the way he collapsed and died later that day. His family and friends are still waiting to hear the autopsy reports, but they are wondering if it wasn't his heart, even though he had no symptoms.

After his funeral later on in the week three of his classmates were involved in an auto accident due to the very high winds that our area has been experencing. They were pushed off the road, hit a tree, slid down the embankment, and landed in the river. One of the teenagers was able to escape, however, the other two boys were trapped in the car. I read in the paper this morning one of those boys has now passed away also. How sad. The paper has not released how the other boy is doing. I can only hope that he will be okay amist all this tragedy.
