Fox was also the aunt of five other students at the same school. Her daughter is a graduate of the nearby St. Francis High School.
With hearts still weighed down by the tragic loss of our student earlier this week, we are aware that many in our community, especially second-graders in the Jesuit class and senior classes in St. Louis. Francis, will be particularly affected by this additional loss and in need of loving support, “the statement said.” Please keep the Fox, Dipenbrock and Vernekov families in your prayers and may they find comfort and comfort in the Lord. “
