My deepest condolences to all the families envolved. Words do not express nor convey the tragic loss of your little loved ones. I am a locomotive engineer. As an engineer my worst nightmare would be see a school bus cross my tracks, without time enough to stop. I deal with people daily at crossings running around gates or not stopping at the crossing when I approach. Most people do understand the time it takes to stop a train. Metal wheels on metal rails plus the weight of the train times the speed of the train. Can only end with a tragedy. I have a 7yr old daughter and a two year old son. Either one are irreplaceable the only thing that can stop this from happening is better training for all persons who are responsilible for the transportation of our loved ones. My deepest empathy to the parents who lost their children and the train crew who did the best they could. God Bless and keep us all. Dennis Bullard

I am so very sorry for the loss of your children. Although our school has gotten very large, every child is one of our family--a child we've either known or would have known. Daniel, Amber, and Kayla were all part of our Northwest family as are all their families and extended families. May God give you the strength to carry you through each day ahead. We love you all!

To the families of Kayla, Daniel, and Amber, my deepest and most heart-felt condolences. Everytime I think, or talk to someone about this tradegy, tears come to my eyes. I am deeply saddened for the families of the three new Angels in heaven, but am also saddened for the classmates and their families. As an uncle of Nicky Lyles (a classmate and close friend of Amber and Kevin), I know the pain that they must be going through must be great also. My prayers and thoughts are with you everyday. May God watch over and protect everyone of you. If i may give advice to each of you, lean on God and and people who are close to you in this time of sadness.

When I saw the news and the scene of the accident I remarked that it was familiar to me. I have crossed that track many times when I was a young child living in GA on the way to my Granny Patterson's, who lived just above Liberty Baptist Church. It was confirmed to me today that I had the scene correct. While at my Mother's I read the paper and saw the pictures and wept. My heart aches for the families and the bus driver. I drove a school bus for 10 years in MO and always knew that I was carrying precious cargo. God be with all the families and may they know that He will sustain them through this difficult time. Prayers and heartfelt sympathy to all of you. When I visit the graves of my Daddy, R. L. Hill, my Brother, Rick Hill, and My Granny Patterson and Wade I will also visit the graves of the small children and place flowers. Please grow in your faith and know that God will take care of you!

I'm sure most of you have heard the song "GOD ON THE MOUNTAIN" that The MCKAMEY's sing. The words are so true and comforting. Also the song wrote by one of your local citizens, Naomi Lawson, not long before she died in a car crash in your community. The song is titled "HOW CAN I LOSE THE BATTLE WITH GOD ON MY SIDE". Tragedies like these are difficult to understand and it's human to ask God "Why"? But "WE"LL UNDERSTAND IT BETTER BY AND BY". My thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost loved ones and to all involved. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. "HOW BEAUTIFUL HEAVEN MUST BE" with three more little angels to welcome God's children as they enter "THE PEARLY WHITE CITY".

I give my heartfelt sympathy to all the families involved in this tragedy. I cannot even begin to imagine what you must be going through, but I do know God is with you. He's even closer to us when our heart is heavy and we are weak. He promises us that he will not leave us comfortless. If you are saved then one day you will be reunited with those precious children. They are in a much better place, and given the opportunity to come back to this earth, imagine for a moment what their response might be. I think they would choose to stay in a place where there is no pain, sorrow, or fear. They are in God's arms this very moment. My prayers are with you all.

i was always told when i was growing up that when a young child passed away in accident or just by death of any kind, that JESUS needed another angel. now heaven has 3 more. i can not express enough sympathy for what you have lost and i know that probably everyone has written the same message but just be ready when your time comes to go to be with them at the same place. heaven is a wonderful place and they all 3 are having a wonderful time with Jesus.

I like many people wonder why death has to happen. But one thing I know, Jesus makes no mistakes11111111 For some reason, he chose these babies to be special angels in heaven. You couldn't wish them to have a better father. They will never know any pain again. They will never have a sick day again. But there is still no replacement for them. There will always be a empty place at the table. But just hold fast to the promises that God gives us. If you are saved, you will see them again.

I lost a loved one a little while back and I know the pain associated with death. I don't know the pain that you are feeling for you loved one that passed away because all pain is different because everyone is different and deals with all emotions different. I know that God is the only one who can send you true comfort and he promises in his word that he will send us a comforter if we believe that will be with us so that we don't have to face it alone. TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART!!! In the Bible it says, "absent from the body, present with the Lord." That is what happened instantly. I will never forget the unecessary way that these babies died but God will take care of that in his own time.

I can barely express my grief over this tragedy. I have a daughter, and I can't even think of what I would do, if I lost her. Children are truly one of God's greatest miracles. I have friends and relatives, all over the country, and I don't know one, who hasn't expressed their own feelings of grief over this tragedy. I have seen this polarize people all over, it seems people come together, bound by the knowledge that there but for the Grace of God, go each one of us. These children will never really be gone, as long as we remember. They are being prayed for by people all over the world, at this very moment. This is indeed, a shared grief. God Bless, and comfort everyone touched by this tragedy.

1 Thessalonians 4:14,15,16,17,18 (14)For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. (15)For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. (16)For the Lord himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the arch-angel, and with the trump fo GOD: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: (17)Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the LORD in the air: and so shall we ever be with the LORD. (18)Wherefore comfort one another with these words. I have a 6 year old, who rides a Murray County bus, I know anything can happen, All of our lives are in God's hand. Our children are GOD'S gifts, and God has his plans for them. So were not to question or place blame on anyone. We all need to pray for the children and there families. And the bue diver, thay all need our prayer and love now. God will ease the pain. And someday we'll all be together again in the sky.

We would just like to say how very sorry we are for all the families involved in this awful accident. We don't have children of our own, so I could never begin to know how you all are feeling. I have lost family members and know that pain. When my mother passed away I had someone tell me God never puts more on you than you can deal with. At the time that was hard for me to believe. Now, after 3 years I do believe that's true, if you only believe in him and trust him to see you through this. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers for weeks to come. God bless you all.

It's over, It's over, The pain and suffering is over, The hurt may go slow, But that we all know Their lives are gone. Theres no regrets, We all agree they were the best, Their up in heaven, A better place, I can just imagine Their smiling faces, Ring a bell, And lets not cry, They now grew wings, And now can fly. But in our heart they shall never die, They were great kids we know that is true, They were always angels in our eyes and that We always knew. It was their time, Their time to go home, They flew to the sky like the great white dove, yet we will always remember all the love They gave the world. Yes it's true we lost some friends, but when you think about it, in the end, the world gained some angels, from those wonderful kids. This is a great poem written by a 12 year old and I thought it was so true. Just remember they are now 3 more angels watching over all of us. And that we will meet soon again. My thoughts and prayers are with all the families, not just those that lost their child but also those still in the hospital.

No words can express how I feel deep inside for the loss of innocence, the loss of precious children. IT should never happen but sadly it happens all the time and it never gets easier, I do not know what I would do should I lose one of my boys, I only offer my thoughts to those affected to those left without children tonight. Those who should never feel this pain that they must surely feel at this very moment. Just know that you do not grieve alone. They will be in your memories and hearts for eternity.

This Too Will Pass Away ~If I can endure for this minute Whatever is happening to me, No matter how heavy my heart is Or how 'dark' the moment may be-- If I can remain calm and quiet With all my world crashing about me, Secure in the knowledge God loves me When everyone else seems to doubt me-- If I can but keep on believing What I know in my heart to be true, That 'darkness will fade with the morning' And that this will pass away, too-- Then nothing in life can defeat me For as long as this knowledge remains I can suffer whatever is happening For I know God will break 'all the chains' That are binding me tight in 'the Darkness' And trying to fill me with fear-- For there is no night without dawning And I know that 'my morning' is near.~ by Helen Steiner Rice

To the families and friends of the three children - I pray that God by His Spirit will comfort you as only He can do. I cannot begin to fathom the pain you are experiencing today. I ask our heavenly Father to give you the assurance that your little ones are safe with Him. May you grieve but not as those who have no hope because you know the Lord Jesus as your Savior and He has made the way for you to spend eternity with Him and your precious children. I ask God to give you the strength to continue to be parents to your remaining children and lights in a dark world. May your burden be eased by the prayers of friends you don't even know. Much love - Kay Bailey

I sent my daughter off to school, then heard the story..I welcomed my daughter home so happy that I got to see her once more I have sent out prayer requests to all of my cyber buds , and they have been so involved in caring and prayer. I now feel that I need to say this...."I can do all things thru Christ which strengthens me", never will it make sense, but today is the first day to begin healing knowing Gods little Angels are busy in Heaven. I am proud of our town, and everything that is being done. I am proud of the surrounding towns and all they are doing. Lets hope this is not in vain but a wake up for the rural areas and at least lights at these kind of tracks.. God Bless u and rmember.your not alone!

I can not begin to tell you the number of tears I have shed for these 3 children. It is amazing to me how God gives us such a heart for ones we do not know. That is the amazing love that our Lord instills in His children. There is not one person that could not be affected by your loss. I know you must feel your grief is more than you can bear but the Lord is there to help you carry the load. He will wipe away the tears and begin to feel your lives with joy once again. Lean on the Lord for your strength and peace and lean on those that He places in your path during this time. 2 Corthinthians 1:3-5 tells us God is the Father of compassion and all comfort. He comforts us so that we can go and comfort others. Take comfort in those He now surronds you with. We are all praying for each person involved in this tragedy.

I would just like to say how very saddened I am for the lost of three very beautiful children. And to say to their parents and families, you will never know exactly how much you and your children mean to everyone in this community. The world is a little sadder with the loss of Daniel, Kayla and Amber. I never had the privalege to know either of your children personally though I wish that I had. But I can tell you from the minute I heard what had happened, I felt as if a part of me had died that same day. My son who is 18 called me from school and said Mom turn on the TV, something really bad has happened. He called me twice that day to see what had happened. I just wanted to say Son come home. Just know that you are in our hearts and prayers,and we will never forget your loved ones and what has happened to them. God will wrap you in his LOVE and carry you through this most difficult time. But if there is ever anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask. For we all are brother and sister in our Lord's eyes.

I have been reading all the Condolences & I want to let you know that here in Washington State we are also grieving & praying for you. I (like many) have never lost a child & cannot really tell you that I know how you feel, but I can tell you that God does. God knows what He is doing when things like this happen & it brings to my mind something I read several years ago...Rosebuds for Heaven...God wants them for the gentleness they provide. Your beautiful blossoms are being adored & cherished right now. They are sitting at the feet of God whom they have been taught about & now they can see Him face to face. They don't have to wonder what He looks like any longer. Just remember, these 3 wonderful, joyful, playful, beautiful creations are where we WANT to be, & who better to beat us there than them. The ones we work so hard to give the best too. They have it now. We are praying for all 3 of your families that the pain will subside rapidly as you remember the wonderful years you had.

I ask myself 'what purpose did this serve Lord, to take 3 young lives?' I am unable as a human to understand the reason or logic behind it. Can you just imagine how God must feel, sad for your grief, but joyous to have his children back with him again in this place we call heaven? We are never ready to relinquish our most prized possesion, our children, back to God. But then, God loaned those precious babies to you to love and nurture while they were here. The AGONY that you now know, in the base of your soul where you cry out in pain, is also being touched by all the gentle love and prayers along with good intentions to you and your families through others words of comfort, touch, and heartfelt condolences. Rest in the love of others right now. Surely our God of love knows what he's doing, even if we don't. Faith, the most difficult thing to grasp in times like this, but that's all there is left. So, I have faith that your beautiful children are sitting in a circle holding hands, their sweet faces tilted toward God in radiant awe and wonderment while the angels read their favorite story books to them. That is the vision I have and want to focus on, not the bus & train collision. I also pray for the bus driver who will have to live the rest of her days with that memory. My prayers,and the prayers of the parishioners at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church in Ft.Payne AL are with you and your families. Sincerely, Diane Dixson

As the father of two and a funeral director by trade, death is all too common to me..each time I hear of a tragedy such as yours, I can't wait to get home to "hug" my children and thank God for their safety. Along with my family, we have bound together and prayed for a comfort to stengthen you during this time...the old saying "time heals all wounds" is a little over-used at times, but believe me, it it the truth! God will take you in his hands and give you strength that you never knew you had...you just have to trust and believe in him. As you face the next few days, weeks, and years, remember that He is the one to lean on for comfort and strength. Our prayers are with you.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to all the families involved in this tremendous tragedy. We on the outside don't even begin to know how your hearts are so broken and greiving for your loss. It should make each and every one of us realize how precious our lives are, and how we should tell our loved ones just how much we love them in our hearts. We need to hold closely to our hearts each and every one that we love so dearly and let them know how we feel about each other. Parents, hug your children and tell them you luv them so much. Children, hug your parents and tell them thank you for all they have done and how much you love them for that. Each and every family needs to cherish what precious little time we have together on this earth. My Deepest Heart Felt Thoughts and Prayers are with Everyone Involved in this Tragedy.

Speaking as a mother,my thoughts and prayers are with everyone of the families.My heart is broken and my tears are shed.I have a poem i would like to share. Im Am Not Here Dont stand by my grave and weep,for im not there i do not sleep.Im a thousand winds that blow,Im the diamond glint on snow,Im the sunlight ripened grain,Im the gentle autumn rain.. When you awaken in mornings hush,I am the swift up lifting rush,of quiet birds in circle flight,I am the soft stars that shine at night.Dont stand at my grave and cry For I am not there.I did not die...GOD BLESS ,I LOVE YOU ALL

I feel a deep saddness in my heart for the loss of these beautiful children as a mother of two, I sometimes get aggravated and discouraged with their behaviors and some of the things we encounter daily, however, this terrible tragic event has made me think of the good things and remind me that these are my gift from God. I have all of the families of these children in my thoughts and prayers daily.I also have the thought of all the emergeny personel, volunteers and the people who wittnessed this event I know it will remain in your thoughts from day to day.

I am a volunteer at a site that has set up a Message Board for the Tennga tragedy. At the www.death-dying.com site, you will find much information about issues surrounding death and dying, and we hope we can also provide you support. Our entire community grieves with the families involved in the tragic bus accident, killing three of our children (Amber sadly died last night at about 8 pm). We hope that this site and the www.death-dying.com site together can help provide support to the community through this terrible time of sadness. My thoughts and prayers are with all involved.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how you are feeling. I lost my youngest son, at the age of 9, 3 years ago in a freak accident.Lean on your family & friends. They, with Gods help, will see you through. It will always hurt, but you have special memories that nothing will take away. Try to think of the happy times. I know that it isnt fair that kids have to leave us too soon. God has a reason. Our little Angels in heaven are watching over us now. Smile for them to see. You all are in my prayers. Let me know if I can help. All of this makes me so sad as I know it does you. Our children are playing in heaven together. Love Tina

The Lord is faithful... and He is all-knowing. Give thanks to him even in this huge trial. As Rick Joyner said.. Every trial has a purpose, to conform you to the image of Christ, which is the fruit of the spirit, which when matured makes room for the gifts of the spirit. Give thanks to the Only One who is faithful and true, even in this time of confusion, and the Lord will see your faith. It's only a short time until you're reunited again, I promise. :)

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to you at the time of your loss of these three children. I cannot say that I know what you are going through or how you feel. But you have been in my thoughts and prayers several times a day since this tragedy occurred. I pray that God will grant you peace and comfort in this time of sorrow and will send people to you that can offer all of the support that you need to get through this time. I know that you will never be able to forget it and it will always hurt, but I pray that you will be able to remember the wonderful times you have had with your children and cherish those memories. I also pray that God will send them back to you as guardian angels so that you will know they are with you everyday. May God send His angels to wrap you in their wings and love and comfort you now.

A poem by Helen Steiner Rice. May You Find Peace...And Comfort....Children are precious gifts from God, and when we lose them in such a tragic way, there are no words to express sorrow. "LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED" Whenever I am troubled And lost in deep despair I bundle all my troubles up And go to God in prayer... I tell him I am heartsick And lost and lonely, too, That my mind is deeply burdened And I don't know what to do... But I know He stilled the tempest And calmed the angry sea And I humbly ask if in His love He'll do the same for me... And then I just keep quiet And think only thoughts of peace And if I abide in stillness My "restless murmurings" cease. May you hold tight your faith....Peace and Prayers!!

~~I would like to extend my sincere condolences to everyone involved. And pray that some of your grief and pain if just a fraction of it is lifted from all the prayer offered and recieved from our caring community and wonderful country. Nationwide you are thought of and prayed for. Your little angels are in heaven now, in a better place, where they will never know pain again, and will always be happy. They are watching over you, and need you to be strong. I hold my nephews Cole and Bradley alittle closer, with tears in my eyes. My prayer goes out to all the kids injured, as well as the hearts of all the family and friends involved... that they may heal with great speed.~~

I have cried each day, as I am now. My oldest son died and it was the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. I have dreamed about the bus wreck the last two nights and I know it will be there tonight. I can never express to you how I hurt for you and your families as you can never express the pain you're in now to anyone. I beg God every day to protect the children and I know He has a good purpose but it is so hard to see. I really wish I could tell you what it was but even if I could I know it wouldn't make it any easier. I am so sorry for your loss and I wish so bad that I could take your pain away. I know that God has the children with Him now and that they are out of any pain. I hope that consoles your families but I also know that you will never stop missing them. I pray that this will help other parents to appreciate their children. My family has your's in their prayers and we promise to pray for you daily. We would like to help you any way possible. With all of our love, The Mulkey's

We say that we have you in our prayers and thoughts......the truth is that no one knows what is in your thoughts at a time like this. I cannot imagine what it would be like to loose a child. I lost my mother and father at a tender age, but I am sure that that cannot compare with losing a child........My God pour out his mercy and tender loving for you in your time of trial..... Please read Proverbs 3: 6 of The Living Bible translation.

I am praying so much for all the families and all the children that were on that bus. My sympathy is with you. It is a sad day. I lost a child through miscarriage on March 28, 1990. Now each year, I will pray for you all on that day. God's purpose is best, we just sometimes don't understand it. At first we can't see it for the pain. But remember that "God loves you". You may want to forget that right now, but He still loves you now and always. Find the good that you can bring from this horrible thing. May God be with you and send angels to comfort you. with love, Charlene
