We were all saddened by the deaths of young people in automobile accidents over the last few days ("Why, God, why? 6 die in fiery crash," April 26, and "Small towns grieve for 3 teens lost in crash," April 25), and we hope that this will be a wake-up call to all those who do not wear seat belts. Let's honor their memories by reminding our loved ones -- especially our teenagers -- to buckle up. PATRICIA MACK, MINNEAPOLIS
