“We ask our community, as well as the communities in Georgia, to keep these families, friends, and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers in the days, months, and years ahead as they navigate unimaginable loss,” the sheriff’s office said. “The grief being experienced in Georgia is deeply felt here in Franklin County as well. When a life is lost in our community, no matter where someone calls home, we feel that loss together.

Channel 2’s Tom Regan learned that all four were students at Horizon Christian Academy in Cumming.

Horizon Christian Academy opened its chapel Monday night and again Tuesday to let students and families come together to grieve and pray for the students who were killed.

Fehr’s family said they were on the way to St. George Island for Spring Break. They identified her as a volleyball player and beloved member of her church and youth group.

“Her faith and kindness touched everyone who knew her, and her loss is deeply felt by her family, friends, and the entire community,” they wrote in an online fundraiser.

Martin also played for a club volleyball team. She will be remembered as a “ray of sunshine.”

“Her faith and kindness touched everyone who knew her, and her loss is deeply felt by her family, friends, and the entire community. In the midst of unimaginable pain, our hope and consolation is in knowing that Char is dancing with Jesus and we will get to see her again one day,” family friends wrote in an online fundraiser.
