Grieving mom thanks people of Rantoul

All too often, those in Rantoul have to read and hear the continual stream of negativity about our community and schools. I want to let people know of the true spirit that lives in Rantoul.

When our son, Devin Fiedler, and his friend, Jacob Head, were involved in a tragic accident on April 23, our community showed what it is made of. We were showered with an unending show of love and support. There was a constant gathering of Devin and Jacob's classmates, friends and family present with us at the hospital; phone calls, food delivered and prayer chains going. While we were devastated and worried about the boys, we were uplifted by this show of love and support.
