The sudden death of Alicia Santucci left her family, friends, and anyone who knew her in total shock. Everyone is struggling to comprehend the tragedy that just occurred. Before the accident, Alicia spent most of her time at water polo practice, swim practice or hanging out with her friends. She always put a smile on everyone’s face and knew how to have a good time. Today, life without Alicia is a daily hurdle. Every little thing reminds her family of her. Her sister Celeste, a freshman in college, has gone into therapy to help with the loss of her best friend and little sister. Her Mom and Dad are doing their best to be strong, but miss their beautiful daughter greatly. They both have taken time off of work and the only thing they are able to concentrate on is Alicia. Her classmates, teammates, and friends say it is way too quiet without Alicia and the live spirit she brought to everything is now missing. Her school is showing their respect by having a day in memory of her. Alicia was a sweet spirit and had a big heart. She will be dearly missed by everyone that knew her.
Mackenzie Kirkwood died in fatal drunk driving accident. She participated in ASB her sophomore year as class president, was a cheerleader her freshman and sophomore year and her junior year she would have been a varsity member. The moment Mackenzie innocently went behind the wheel and drove her friends Alicia and Emily around she never knew what would happen that night. Mackenzie is surrounded by her mom Linda, her dad Shawn, and her older brother Colin. Her mother and father are divorced and she currently lives with her mom. Mackenzie was Linda's first and only daughter and she saw a bright future for her daughter.linda was first in denial and didn't believe the news. Mackenzie was not even drinking and died in a drunk driving accident. Mackenzie's mom and dad were already not talking and this tragedy drew the family apart. Now that Linda suffered this with her own daughter she doesn't want someone else's child to die and her not have helped. She wants to bring more awareness to students of drinking and driving and start a program that offer kids a free ride home no questions ask. Other high schools have it and she believes it would stop a lot of teens deaths.
After the devastating accident that took Emily’s life, her family’s world was completely shattered. Her Mom, Dad, and little sister Isabella struggled to come to terms with the loss of their daughter to a drunk driving accident. Isabella, who attends Carrillo, was particularly devastated. She lost her only sibling, her older sister, her role model for life. Being so young, it was hard for her to understand why and how exactly her older sister had been taken away from her. They had been extremely close, and Isabella will now be forced to go through the rest of her life without her sister Emily.
Emily’s death also affected other people who had cared about her in life. Emily had been involved in ASB and was a member of the Cavalier Dance Team, and those friends she left behind found the time after her death to be extremely difficult. She will be missed by her peers and teachers greatly; the entire school took the death of one of their Knights very seriously. In addition to a candle-lit vigil in the stadium for Emily and the other students lost, Ms. Mottershaw also scheduled a teen alcohol and drunk driving week to take place on campus in the future, in hopes of raising awareness of teen drinking and preventing another terrible accident like this from happening. Rest in peace Emily, you will be remembered forever.
