There are rumors that Julia Budzinski died in a car accident. However, the truth revealed by time and reputed newspapers suggests that she died in a boating accident on the river.
People gathered outside Glen Allen High School on Sunday evening to pay their respects to Julia. She was 17 at the time when she passed away.
“She was the sweetest person I’d ever met.” “I remember when she would congratulate me… it just put a smile on my face,” one attendee said.
Julia went to GAHS and was a member of the basketball and football teams.
“It’s with a heavy heart to announce the GAHS family is dealing with the loss of a student – Julia Budzinski,” wrote high school principal Reginald Davenport on Sunday.
“It was a pleased, fun last day on Earth for her, obviously until the end,” Julia’s mother, Monica Budzinski, said at her vigil on Sunday. But she was happy, laughing, and having a good time, and that’s how I’ll remember her.”
The Blue Jays’ game against Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday began with a moment of silence to remember Julia.
