A vigil will be held at 9 p.m. Wednesday at Rocky Mountain’s varsity softball field. A memorial page is online for those wanting to share memories of the teenager.
“We wanted to open it up to everybody,” White said. “She was just an all-around great kid. You wanted her in the classroom. She was positive with everybody. ... We miss her.”
