Radiantly pretty Halle Grace Scott, a University of Georgia student, was 19 when she was snatched from this life Wednesday night, April 27, in a car crash that also killed three other students and left another in a coma.

It was too much for Scott’s former classmates and teachers from Dunwoody High School. So they gathered in the tiny chapel of Dunwoody United Methodist Church, where Scott had worshipped as a child.

And they prayed raw prayers.

"Life isn't fair," prayed another — who then thanked the Lord for something somewhat startling.
