Take time to hug your family!! Bus tragedy

[fishinchicks]

The bus my kid's normally would ride is the bus that is on the news right now. We only know that two of our cousin's kids are in the hospital, but the third one is ok. There was at least one student killed today.

For those of you who are the praying kind, there were 40 kids on that bus, and a couple of other cars involved. They could all use all they prayers they could get.

You had better believe that I have hugged my daughters today! I picked them up from school about the time the fire department went out.

It is with a heavy heart that I type right now. Our cousin's child, our godchild, was the student who was killed in the bus accident today. She was adopted from China as a 10 month old, and was currently in fourth grade. She will be missed!

[PerchJerker]

So sorry to hear about your loss. Thank goodness you picked up your kids today.

Our Prayers and thoughts go out to everyone affected by this.

Our kids also go to Lakeview and thankfully wern't on that bus route. Several of their friends and classmates were however. It seems one more may have died and some more flown out. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the kids and their families. Don't forget to hug your volunteer fire and ambulance crews also, as they put their lives in danger and on hold in tradegies like this.

That's horrible, so sorry for your and your families loss.......

The latest is 4 dead, jeepers. I'm looking at my rascals sleeping right now(well the 2 yr old isn't!). Sorry again.....

I just ran and hugged my three. Thanks for thinking of other kids and us as well during your loss. Hans.

We have heard about the others. There are two brothers who are both gone, and one other boy. Two were 7th graders, one a 5th grader and our godchild a 3rd grader (I mistyped her grade before). Our cousin's boy that was injured is on his way to Sioux Falls by amb. to get some possible glass removed from his eye. He also has a broken finger, and multiple bumps and scrapes on one side. We are thankful he will be alright.

Thanks for the prayers everyone! I believe that is the only thing keeping the family going right now.

Carolyn, to say I'm sorry would be an understatement in the worst way. I'm at a loss for words for your families loss. My condolences, and prayers go out to your family and all involved.

My kids were supposed to have a game there tonight. I found out about it when my oldest son called and said their bus got turned around, and then told me why.

If you, or your family want or need anything, my e-mail is in my profile. Do not hesitate to contact me.

Carolyn,

We are so sorry for you loss. These families are in my prayers.

[IFallsRon]

Children should not die. We are sad and pray for your community.

[harvey lee]

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers are sent.

Very sad when these loved ones are lost. It always seems tougher when they are younger.

[Sandmannd]

I just got chills when I read this. I can't tell you how bad I feel for you and your family. I will be thinking of you. I'm also on my way to pick up my daughter and will give her a huge hug.

As said before, children should never pass away.

[IFallsRon]

My daughter said one of her classmates had a cousin on the bus. I'm sure that they will say prayers today at the school Mass.

[Sandmannd]

I heard on the news that the person in the van that hit this bus didn't have a license and was busted for it before. I hope if that's true, that they sock it to her for doing this to these families.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all.
