Family and friends of a group of teenage boys who died while playing 'ding, dong, ditch' remember them as a close-knit group of committed Christians.
Even in a youth group that typically has about 80 teenagers, that joy was evident, said Taylor Mendoza — pastor of student ministries for Northpoint Church.
They went to Panera Bread for a chat, and Mendoza remembers his first impression: “This is a kid who can think well." Daniel was "soft and tender toward others” and receptive to learning more about Christian teachings.“It feels like a nightmare ... but a nightmare I’m not waking up from," he said. He joins many others in the church, including grieving father Craig Hawkins, in wanting justice — but not vengeance.
