Of the 103 passengers and 7 crew members in the flight, there were only two survivors.

She remembered her schoolmates who lost their lives in the crash.
She shared a new photo of herself with the caption;
“To the 60 angels of December 10th… hey
It’s that time of year again, when I take the time to honor your memory in every way I can.
I just realized it’s been exactly 16 years since this plane crash that happened when I was 16. Wow.
I hope you’re still watching, angels, I hope I’m still making you proud.
I want you to know that I finally wrote that book and you’re all in it. Of course you are.
I wrote it in memory of you, in memory of all the other lives that we lost that day, and in the hope that someone somewhere would read it and feel the impact that your lives have had in mine so far.
Your memory continues to give me purpose.
Thank you, angels.
Gone, but never forgotten.
#inlovingmemory #60angels #restinpeace”
