Family and friends remember victims

It was just two weeks ago 17-year-old Arielle Lewandowski graduated from Menasha High School. Superintendent Keith Fuchs remembers it well.

"I do certainly remember Arielle coming across the stage that evening, big smile and I think very pleased she succeeded and graduated from high school; having big dreams of what that future might be," said Fuchs.

Her grandmother says that future included working this year, and then going off to college.

"She was a wonderful little girl," said her grandmother Jane Lewandowski. "Fun, loved life. Just graduated from high school and had her whole life ahead of her."

"Probably looking forward to a future full of dreams," said Fuchs.

But now those futures for Arielle and her friends Samuel Goudy and Paige Riley will never be realized after Friday's deadly crash.

FOX 11 spoke with Paige's brother who also just graduated from Menasha High School. He understandably did not want to go on camera but did tell us his older sister Paige was a joy to be around. He said she was usually the life of the party, and more than anything a free spirit. He says she met Arielle at a coffee shop one day and that's how the two became friends. He says she moved to South Carolina in February to pursue an education in fire fighting and flew back just this week to attend his graduation party.

Friday night Goudy's girlfriend of three months stopped by the crash site to see where her boyfriend tragically lost his life.

"He cared so much for his friends and his family," said Goudy's girlfriend Alexis Bastian. "It's very disappointing and very sad that something so silly as a car accident would take him away from me and his family."

Friends of the three have also started remembrance pages on Myspace and Facebook to remember their friends, who will definitely be missed.

Friends of Stephen Siebert, the man accused of driving the wrong way on the highway, also gathered at the scene Friday. They did not wish to comment.
