On April 18th of last year, our small community was forever changed by a tragic car accident that took the lives of four teenage girls—Ada Kepley, Josalynn Osborn, Sienna Katz, and Olive Koren. The loss of these beautiful young lives has left a lasting imprint on our hearts. Not a day goes by that they are not remembered, and the depth of grief carried by their families and our community remains profound. Today marks one year since their passing. Though they are gone, they are never forgotten.

To honor their memory, we are raising funds to create a permanent memorial sculpture near the crashsite. This tribute, designed by local artist Brandon Steig—who grew up in this community and feels a deep connection to it—has been developed in collaboration with the families. The sculpture will depict Ada, Josalyyn, Sienna, and Olive as birds rising into the sky, symbolizing their spirits, their freedom, and the enduring love that surrounds them. This memorial will serve as a place of reflection, healing, and remembrance for all who visit—a lasting tribute to four extraordinary girls whose light continues to shine.

Because this is a deeply personal, one-of-a-kind memorial, there are many variables involved in bringing it to life with the care and intention it deserves. We are hoping to raise funds to support the full creation and installation of the piece. If there are any funds remaining after the memorial is completed, they will be given to the families, in honor of Ada, Josalyyn, Sienna, and Olive.

We invite you to support this project and help us create a meaningful space in their honor. Your contribution will ensure their legacy lives on and will offer comfort to the families and the community for years to come. Thank you for helping us honor Ada, Josalyyn, Sienna, and Olive.
