To the Conrady's:
My heart just breaks seeing your son's photo in the paper. I did not know any of these teens, but I have 3 boys of my own, 2 of which are teenagers and 1 who is in his 20's. When I look at your son, I see my 18 yr. old and the pain is so unbearable. I can not imagine the pain your family is suffering right now.I wish there were words that could ease your pain, but I know there are none. Im sure there are many questions, questions that may never be answered. Your son is a very handsome young man, and Im sure that all the angels are rejoicing as he entered heaven.
Please know that there are parents all over Illinois and further who are praying for all of you, as well as the other children's family, who died and were hurt in that tragic freak accident. My boys have also been praying for all of the families and friends of everyone touched by these children. May GOD hold each of you and give you the strength to continue and know that your children are in GOD's hands and at peace.
Mark 11:24
And therefore I say to you 'Have faith that whatever you ask for in prayer is already granted you, and you will find that it will be.'
My thoughts and prayers are with you! Mother in Tennessee
