Hi, I'm a student at Strongsville High School. I really regret that I've never met Jeff, Blake, Lexi, Kevin, or Julia, but I know that they were amazing people and that I would've liked them very much. I just wanted to express my deepest sorrow and sympathy towards this terrible loss that their parents and community has had to endure. I will be keeping Julia in my thoughts and hoping for her speedy recovery.

Every morning when I drive to my summer job I pass by hundreds of blue and white signs and ribbons that dot the sides of the roads in here in Strongsville, all put up by the citizens working together. This terrible tragedy has certainly brought our city together to express our condolences, but more importantly, brought Strongsville and Brunswick together in mourning and recovery. I've put together this little slideshow in memory of the teens and to show how all of us in Strongsville are here to support you all.

I think it's safe to say that this is probably the first time in history that Strongsville has been blanketed in blue and white, and we are proud of it. We are not "proud" that this tragedy happened; I think that everyone can agree that it would be a much better thing if the accident had never occurred in the first place. What we are proud of, however, is to have such a strong and united neighbor to the south. I think I can speak for everyone in Strongsville when I say that we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Rest in peace.
