How Do You Make Sense of This?

A 17 year old high school student was killed Tuesday in Bridgeport TX (just west of Ft. Worth). The young lady died when a concrete and steel awning collapsed on her and a friend as they passed underneath. Her friend was injured and is recovering in a hospital.

We lose some of our young to a variety of causes - drunk driving, auto accidents, illness, disease, athletic accidents, etc. Each loss is devestating, but usually can be attributed to something that is understandable. If the two girls had been 5 seconds earlier, 5 seconds later, or walked 5 feet to one side, this wouldn't have happened.

I have a great deal of sympathy for the family - not only do they have to cope with the loss of their daughter, they have to try and make sense of such a senseless death. I pray that God helps them through this....

If you believe, you might want to say a prayer for the family of Leslie Denison - they need all the help they can get right now .....

Oh, how awful.

Not sure how you get through this, but hopefully they have lots of support from family and friends.
