Two days before Christmas in 1982, eighteen-year-old Ted Morris was killed by a drunk driver. Ted’s parents, Elizabeth and Frank Morris, plunged into a deep pit of despair and anger. In her grief, Elizabeth Morris fantasized about killing the drunk driver, Tommy Pigage. But eventually, Elizabeth realized that her anger was destroying her life, and she chose to forgive Pigage.
The Morrises reached out to him, and it was through their friendship that Tommy Pigage became a Christian. Today, the Morrises and the Pigages attend church together and share a close friendship.
