Jesus.

I was on Clarkson's team back in 2001 when a 15 passenger van rolled over killing 2 of our students and critically injurying several. I myself suffer from spinal damage and am in pain on a daily basis. I am shocked and horrified that this has happened again... and on Kickoff no less.

My prayers and thoughts go out to you. As some one who's been there, let me state that you will make it through this tradigy. Just have faith and patience. Now is the time to morn and to rely on the strength of your community. When you feel ready to pick yourselves off (and I know you will!), we will all rejoyce and see you at the competition.
