Update on the accident

We are very saddened to hear the number of deaths has risen to 25 people. We learned that one of our friends at our Elementary school, Ruby Vyas has lost a son in this terrible accident. She has been my friend for about 3 years and has blessed the lives of my boys. Here's some of the Associated Press clip about the Atul, the 20 year old. "Atul Vyas scored in the top 1 percent on his medical school entry exams, but he was having trouble answering one question on applications to Harvard and Duke: Describe a hardship you've overcome. "He said, 'I've not had any, I've had a blessed life,'" Vijay Vyas said of his son Sunday.
Atul Vyas never finished the application, never came closer his goal of working in biomechanics. On Friday, he was among 25 killed when a Metrolink commuter train collided with a freight train in nearby Chatsworth. He was 20."
To our friends, the Vyas family, and to all others affected... we pray asking for a sacred peace to accompany your exceptional family. Please don't forget to be grateful for every day miracles...as Atul said, having a "blessed life".
