A high school student is mourning the loss of her entire immediate family, who died in a tragic upstate New York plane crash that killed all six passengers Saturday.
Anika Groff lost her parents, neuroscientist Michael Groff and urogynecologist Joy Saini, as well as both of her older siblings, her sister Karenna, and brother Jared, according to a report by Daily Mail.
The other two passengers who were reportedly killed in Saturday’s plane crash in Copake, New York — near the Massachusetts border — were Karenna’s boyfriend, James Santoro, and Jared’s girlfriend, Alexia Couyutas Duarte.
The Weston, Massachusetts, school district, where Karenna and Jared Groff went to school, issued a statement to the community after Saturday’s crash.
“Two of our graduates, Karenna Groff (2018) and Jared Groff (2017), their parents, and several friends were killed in a small plane crash in New York yesterday,” Weston Public Schools said in a statement obtained by Daily Mail.
“Their lives ended far too soon, and our hearts are with all those who are grieving this unimaginable and sudden loss,” the school district added.
