A Community "That Forgives"

Uxbridge is a community that has seen it's share of tragedy. Most communities have, but how do we respond when something happens? It does not take long for a community to be full of hurt and deep scars from the past. How can a community keep from being scared and hurt from the effects of strained relationships and those who would seek revenge?

Meet Dale Lang who lived through such a tragic situation, hear how Dale and his family dealt with the tragic shooting of Jason Lang by a 14 year old student, how after Jason's funeral dale and his family walked to the school and while in a circle around the spot where Jason was shot asked gods blessings on the family of the boy who shot Jason.
