Angela Byrd Offers Forgiveness

We came across this article from Tulsa World and felt it was worth sharing. Dennis Byrd died tragically in 2016 when the Hummer H2 he was driving was hit by a Ford Explorer. Dennis Byrd was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. His son suffered severe injuries but recovered. The story here is about the compassion shown by Angela Byrd. In a world filled with hate, the strength and dignity that the entire Byrd family has always shown is an inspiration.

The widow of Dennis Byrd harbors no ill will toward the teenage motorist who failed to maintain his lane, over-corrected and struck a vehicle driven by the former football star, killing him and severely injuring their son.
