Last night, a 17 year old boy was killed in a senseless motorcycle wreck. He was hit by someone who had run from police in a checkpoint and then led them through town. He hit Josh's motorcycle from behind and killed him.
I didn't teach this young man, but he was in the first class of first graders when I was teaching, so I remember him well. He was a very sweet guy--very polite and always had a smile on his face.
Lots of gruesome rumors are circulating concerning details of the accident. I don't want to know, honestly. All I know is that a child who used to walk down the hall and speak to me.
Please remember the Darnell family and his friends as they deal with this great loss. Christi

Things like this are so sad! Any death is sad, but a senseless death is even harder to deal with! I'm sorry for this loss...to you, and to his family!
Oh Christi - I am so sorry. That is horrible. Prayers for everyone involved.
I saw the article in the paper today. How senseless. So sorry for his family. Did he attend GC?
I did ... I said a prayer for the Darnell family. And I will continue to pray for them as I pray for my friends who are also mourning teh death of their only son:

this is so tragically senseless. Praying...
Oh, I am so sorry to see a young life cut short. My husband has been a teacher for 9 years and lost 2 students to tragedy. It's like they were members of our own family. My deepest sympathies....
What a tragedy. I will certainly pray for this family.
