Grieving mom thanks people of Rantoul

Thursday May 8, 2008

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.
