This news brings profound sorrow to our entire Franciscan University community. We grieve the loss of two young lives, and our hearts ache for their families, friends, classmates, professors, and all who knew and loved them, the schools president, the Rev. Dave Pivonka, wrote Monday. Please know that we are holding Luke and Mary, and all who mourn them, close in prayer, asking the Lord for comfort, mercy, and peace. Reimer, from Indian Shores, Flaorida, and Mich of Downington, Pennsylvania, were found de@d outside St. Agnes Residence Hall a womens dormitory on the campus that sits on the Ohio River on the border of West Virginia and 20 miles west of Pennsylvania. The accident is being blamed on a potential vehicle exhaust or engine malfunction, Pivonka said, citing initial reports from the Steubenville police. Officials have ruled out foul play. In moments such as this, it is especially important that we care for one another, Pivonka said. I strongly encourage anyone who is struggling, grieving, or in need of support to make use of these resources and to reach out to a trusted friend, faculty member, or staff member.
