Hey everyone, I know a lot of you don't know me, but I post quite a bit over in the piranha forum, and I just wanted to get this out there... I hope everyone that reads this can make a bit of room in their nightly prayers or at least find it in their hearts to put these people in their thoughts.
I wrote this, so it probably isn't the best, thanks a bunch folks....
I really don't know how to go about this, but I'm sure alot of the people around here have heard about the charter bus that rolled over on I 94 near Albertville in Minnesota and it may have even made some of the national newscasts.
Early Saturday morning, one of the two buses carrying high school students from the Pelican Rapids High School band that were returning from a concert in Chicago rolled over sending many students to the hospital, thankfully most of those students will be ok, but one of those students wasn't lucky enough to walk away from the accident, a 16 year old girl named Jessica Weishair won't be one of the many students receiveing a hug from her worried parents. Pelican Rapids is my hometown, most of my family still lives in or around this town, and my heart goes out to the small community that is home to many sleepless residents on a night like tonight.
I would like to be the first person on this site to extend my condolences to the Weishair family, I know Kim Weishair (Jessica's father) personally and this tragedy could not have befallen a better person. Kim Weishair is a man who upon meeting, you feel like you have known for years, as proven by the outreach of the many people who have come together in this time of mourning. I don't think that anyone will disagree with the fact that the death of a sixteen year old, regardless of the circumstances, is a horrible event, but i would like to ask everyone on this site to hold the Weishair family in your thoughts and prayers.
Thanks for your time everyone, it's been a tough day...
