Product Description
Product Description
On November 18, 1999, a tragic accident at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, claimed the lives of twelve young people and seriously injured twenty-seven others when the annual bonfire to celebrate the University of Texas versus Texas A&M Thanksgiving football game collapsed during the final stages of construction.
Eleven young people died at the scene, but the twelfth victim, Timothy Doran Kerlee, Jr., lived almost forty-two hours before succumbing to his injuries. Seven months after his death, his parents left their secular life in Memphis, Tennessee, and moved to College Station to work as volunteers in campus ministry at the very school where their son had died. What happened to cause this couple to make such a life-changing decision?
The Chance to Say Goodbye answers that question, while telling the tale of a young hero, who, on that fateful night, refused aid for himself until his friends had been helped. Author Janice Cross Kerlee offers help to parents who have lost children. She assists them in dealing with their grief and teaching their friends how to help in a time of need. Finally, The Chance to Say Goodbye testifies to the mighty works of God and His ever-present love.

A Biography, 21 May 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Chance to Say Goodbye: Hope for Grieving Parents (Paperback)
I had hoped for a story that might help me in dealing with those I counsel. While it is a well-told story of one young man's life and influence, it is of no help at all in assisting other grieving parents who might not appreciate the extravagant emphasis on the Texas A&M spirit and on their son, rather than on their personal struggles with grief.
