Tragedy

Last week, in my hometown, a 16 year old girl was killed in a car accident on her way to school.  She was the youngest of 3 children in this family and her two older brothers and her parents grieved the loss of this young girl.  Yesterday, tragedy struck this family again in the form of a car accident.  The two boys were driving and ran into a vehicle west of town.  The middle brother (19) was driving and his brother (21) was killed in the accident.  The parents were following them, although I'm not sure if they saw it.  I cannot imagine, as they grieve the loss of their daughter and sister, what facing another shocking tragedy like this will do the parents and remaining brother.  From the information I'm given, the brother that is left has had been very unstable in the past following a break-up and I'm not sure if him or his brother are/were Christians.  I'm pretty sure the young girl was.  I cannot imagine going through this without God.  Even as a Christian it would be near impossible to bear.  Please pray for this family.  They need every prayer they can get on their behalf.
