OT-Tragedy at my son's HighSchool- Need Prayers

Wed. night 4 of my son's friends were driving home from a track meet up in St Cloud.  They were in an accident. Madey died at the scene. 2 others were taken to the hospital ( one life flighted ) they are in critical condition and the driver was treated for her injuries and released.

They were all 4 Seniors, graduation is Sunday... the 2 in the hospital are the valedictorian and salutatorian... Madey was an honor student.

It was purely an accident... bad intersection, the driver did not see the truck she pulled out in front of....

Needless to say this has shaken my son, his friends, and the majority of the students, parents and faculty in our community.  We gathered at a friend's home Wed. until almost midnight awaiting news on the 3 that survived but were in the hospital.  There were about 200, students, parents and teachers as well as local pastors- the community has really pulled together.

All the major news stations picked up the story last night... if you would like to read more you can go to http://www.hjblogs.com/hlww-student-killed-wednesday-in-terr ible-accident/#comments 

Please add these students and their familes to your prayers- as well as our community as we try to heal and go on...

Thank You and Hugs
