58. He needs to be buried, period, in whatever cemetery will take his body.

Apr 2013

His family can pray for the forgiveness of his soul, without official religious intervention.

We need to remember that burials are more for the remaining living than for the dead. His family was not responsible for this young man's terrible decisions, and they need some solace and closure. He has punished them enough by tarnishing the family name forever.

Until this happened, there is no doubt that his family would never have believed it could happen to them. Those here on DU that wish to inflict more pain on them do not seem to realize that this could happen in their families, as well. How many families are associated with drunk drivers who caused horrible fatalities? It could happen to any of us. Let's show some compassion for the innocent members of his family. God can handle the matter of the bombers' ultimate fate.
