Principal Maureen Byrne says remembering the boys was simply the right thing to do for everyone whose lives they touched.
High School held its graduation ceremony today and included a special dedication for three of its students who died in a car accident three years ago.
What should have been graduation day for twins Michael and Mark Urista and Javier Ramirez became a day of acknowledgment and remembrance for those who knew and loved them. Michael, Mark and Javier, all 16 years old, died in a car accident on Foothill Road in Pleasanton. Two other people were also in the car and survived, including the twins’ cousin Jared Reynoso.
"Their dad, Andrew Urista, and I had been talking about how difficult it’d be to be present and how heartbreaking it would be. He honestly couldn’t do it. I just felt as though they had to be recognized, and their memory kept alive. As their parents, that’s our job. So mustered up the courage to come," Ana Reynoso said.
