It is my understanding that several rides were offered and declined. This is very sad. All of the adults involved made a poor choice and paid for it with thier lives. They left behind husbands, children, mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers. Loved ones who are also paying the price for this terrible choice. We are all responsible for our actions, but we need to understand that those actions effect everyone around us. Unfortunately for these people and thier families, this choice, has ultered thier lives forever.
