To the Editor:

Last Sunday, several members of our family attended the evening devotional service for a moving lament praying for the students involved in last Friday’s terrible accident, for the tragic loss of Lindsey Smith, and most graciously for the family of my son Jeffrey Davis, who also died. I want to express how deeply I, and all the members of Jeff’s family, grieve with each of you and all of the ACU families involved, especially the Smith family.

The ACU Community that we witnessed last Sunday night, where you gently folded us into your family, was truly inspiring. The grace that has been extended has touched us to the core and has given us comfort as we travel this difficult path. No words can adequately express our sorrow for the loss of life and injuries sustained; we are heartbroken for Lindsey Smith’s family.

We join each of you in praying that the Lord will guide and comfort all of us in the days ahead.

Thank you for your kindness,

Lynn Marderosian, Jeffrey Davis’ mother
