One of the victims that survived sustained minor bruises and bumps. The other was airlifted to a hospital in Birmingham named Children's of Alabama. And according to reports, her condition has been stabilized.

Just being friends out on Christmas day."
The girls were mourned by the local residents at First Baptist Church.
Ron Snell, Geneva City School Board President said,
"Those girls touched a lot of lives, and that's why you see the real hurt and the coming together of young and old."
