wish to thank our many family and friends as well as many others from the
community for their expressions of support and concern for our daughter, as
well as the many prayers that have been, and continue to be made on Bonnie
Kate's behalf. Her injuries, while serious, are not life-threatening, and the
early indicators from her surgery have been ncouraging. We would appreciate, as
much as possible, being given the time and space to deal with the trauma of
what has happened and would ask that people please respect our need for
privacy. As a Christian family we are
trusting the Lord to guide us through this difficult time. Our hearts and
prayers also go out to all the families and communities that are affected by
this tragedy."
