Terrible Tragedy

By Kay Heitsch

Last week there was a terrible tragedy in Ohio. A chartered bus, semi, and two cars were in a deadly accident. The charted bus carried band students and chaperones from Tusky Valley High School. Several have been killed and many injured.

Tusky Valley is located near where we lived in Ohio when Todd died in a car accident. So this hit home with me.

ABC News covered the story last night. It was heart-wrenching watching the report. As I watched the semi in flames, there was an explosion. I-70 was closed down on both sides for hours.

We never know what a day will bring. I'm sure everyone on this bus trip was as excited as Todd was to start the day. Little did anyone know what was ahead.

As a parent who has lived through the sudden death of a child, I send my prayers to all those who are suffering this horrific loss. Please know God will see you through and surround you with His love and comfort.
