Prayers for these 4 kids...

[FSUDisneyGirl]

My boyfriend teaches band at a local high school. I have helped him out a lot (I am also a music teacher) and have gotten to know the students, and parents as well.

This past weekend, one of his students (his name is Joel) lost both of his parents. They were riding together on a motorcycle when they lost control and crashed into a guard rail. Joel is only 15, and has 3 younger siblings. They are all now in the care of their grandparents.

The funeral for both parents is being held tomorrow. If you pray, please pray for strength and peace for the 4 children. Please also keep all of the high school students in mind- Joel's mom was like a mother to many of them as well, and they are struggling while coming to terms with the loss of someone so close to them.

Thank you!

I will be thinking of these kids; our neighbors across the street (21 and 23 at the time) lost both parents within a week of each other. I'm so glad to hear that these kids have family around; my neighbors have almsot virtually no family at ALL.

Thanks for the prayers. It was a rough day. There were so many people there to offer support, but I think the hardest part will come now...as everyone else goes back to work, goes back home...and those kids are expected to continue life without their parents. We will continue to support them as much as we can but it's just such a hard situation. Thanks again, everyone.
