That's horrible. This makes it worse:
<< Eleven years ago, the couple's only son, Andrew, died in a car accident at age 15, which made the Christiansons even more protective of Alina and her younger sister Kari, now 17. The girls participated in a home-school program, and it was there that Alina met Jason. >>
This might sound bad, but that reminds me of a guy who I went to school with - his older brother died in a freak accident. Then a couple years ago in the A&M bonfire incident, he was killed. 🙁
