R.I.P. - Whitney Cerak, OOPS, er, Laura VanRyn

Whitney reportedly took a swing at one of the VanRyn family during what must have been a very awkward and frustrating recovery.

A fatal car crash April 26 on I-69 in Indianapolis left four students and one staff member of an Upland, Indiana Christian College dead. One student, identified by school staff as Laura VanRyn, survived and was hospitalized in a coma for weeks afterward. The VanRyn family waited patiently by her bedside for any change in condition, making frequent Weblog updates.

Meanwhile, Whitney Cerak, a fellow Taylor student involved in the crash was laid to rest in a memorial service attended by her friends and family.

When the girl in the hospital bed awoke and began to vocalize, the VanRyn family slowly came to realize that she was not their daughter. Laura VanRyn was buried in the Cerak Family plot, and Whitney Cerak had been attended to for weeks by complete strangers.

One family's miracle is another's travesty.

UPDATE: The VanRyn family has deleted their blog, but who can blame them?
