Members of a Mennonite community in Missouri have met with and forgiven a teenager who killed a 7-year-old child in a car accident.

“They wanted him to know they were not harboring ill will against him,” said Clay Zimmerman, a minister with the Farmington Mennonite Church, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “They didn’t want him to carry a heavy burden throughout life.”
