Five teenage girls were killed in a car accident around this area in Fairport, NY yesterday. It became a national story and I just thought I would mention what a tragedy this is and send out my best wishes for the families and community.

Marcus Merriman, an 18-year-old who knew the victims, described Hannah Congdon as “probably my best friend.”

“She always had a perfect smile on her face. She said ‘hi’ to everyone in the halls. She was very caring and sympathetic,” he said.

The girls were Bailey Goodman, Hannah Congdon, Meredith McClure, Sara Monnat, Katie Shirley. They all graduated High School this past Thursday.
