As a father of three boys myself, I can not even phantom what these boy’s parents and family our going through. Please pray that the love of God will sustain this family in their dark time of grief and heartache.

| Posted 10/14/2004 3:20 PM (GMT -6) | | I think about this family a lot and pray for them. My heart is so sorrowful for the loss these parents and the two surviving siblings have experienced. Those boys looked so sweet.
I am also sad for the young man who, with one wrong action and poor choices, has changed the course of his life. We need to pray for both families involved. | | Back to Top | | |

Thanks QFT, you’re so right in reminding us to keep the other driver in our prayers. Last year I attended a driver education/safety class with my son. We listened to a heartfelt young man that made one mistake that literally devastated his life. He got impatient and reckless and crashed and killed an entire family along with his passenger friend. He now volunteers his time trying to prevent such tragedies, hoping he can help spare others from the pain of one wrong choice. | | Back to Top | | |

| Posted 10/15/2004 6:07 AM (GMT -6) | | As the boy's parents are mourning, they forgive the other driver.
The Backstroms said they have forgiven Barlage and pray for his recovery. And they bear no grudge.
"This young man has consequences for his actions, and so I can forgive him because my God has forgiven me," said Nathan Backstrom, a Northwest Airlines pilot. "It is my duty as a Christian. I can't live the rest of my life carrying that anger."
"There is enough anger in this world," his wife added. "Being angry about it isn't going to solve anything."
