School bus crash,prayers

Folks, Im sure you seen the school busses that crashed today on the national news, St James Missouri kids on them?
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/08/05...est=latestnews

I know most of these kids, my sister took care of them when they was little at her daycare, today a family had thier heart broken forever as they lost thier little girl (the girl that got killed was a cousin of my nephews and they are pretty upset)..but what you wont see on the news is there are two more young ladies in critical condition, i just got word via phone call that neither of these two girls are expected to make it according to the Drs.
These kids are some of the brightest kids out there, if you have just a moment of time, please ask the big guy upstairs to look out for the 3 young ladies, the two in critcal and the one who passed and their families..this has rocked a little town, its just been a bad day for everyone.

This is sad beyond description. It is also very maddening!! The truck slowed for a construction zone! I have an uncle who retired from the MO. highway dept. and these construction zones are very well marked! The first bus which was following too close, hit a pickup which was following the truck too close, and was then hit by the 2nd bus which was following too close! Now one young life is over because of **** poor driving. There may well be more too. People, when you drive, you have to follow the vehicle in front of you far enough behind it that if it crashes and stops instantly, you have enough room to stop without driving into the crash. This is so preventable. it really pisses me off. Prayers to the friends and families of the killed and injured. Noname

Just in, sorry, i just got another phone call, 1 girl still critical, the other is fine.

I think the whole town showed up at the highschool gym and had prayer. my understanding is people was parking blocks away to get into the school and all the churches filled up for prayer tonight.

Thoughts and prayers go out to all involved. Sort of hate to see the news media so thick around town, but hopefully they will keep it "respectful". If we can do anything to help Jeff, let us know.
