Wendover remember these lost boys with sadness in their heart, and regrets of what could have been of their lives cut short in a car accident, sixteen years ago.

Camille Iglesias(born Reilly) says:” I still think of them. Mostly Ricardo, but David too… I wasn’t as close to Alfredo. I’m taking a grief and loss class right (now) and it’s proven that adolescents experience this kind of loss more vividly because of their brain development….maybe that’s why we all still mourn this loss even 16 years later.” But even the Wendover adults at the time still mourn them. It hit the community very hard.
