Senior student Christine Croft died, more than three weeks ago on Virginia Lane and Rimrock Road. West students Conner Devere, Kylie Larson and Thomas Lindsay died in the crash on South 64th Street West, more than a week ago. "Tommy , I knew since like seventh grade," said Adrianna Yellowtail, a West student. ""He was a really, really funny kid. He was just very heartwarming and very nice."
