    So very sad. It is awful when fun (like hunting) ends tragically. I pray God will help this family during this awful time.

    The others do need to learn from this senseless death. If we want to avoid deaths like that, teach you kids what not to do.

    Praying for God’s Strength, Comfort, and Peace for this family and for the young man driving, and his family!!! Everyone please, please don’t be negative about this, this baby boy’s family doesn’t need that, nor does the other family!!! I know from experience about all the negativity when your child is taken from you this way!!! They need your Prayers, and thoughts, not negativity!!! SO IF YOU CAN’T SAY ANYTHING NICE AND COMFORTING, DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!!!
