It just means so much to our family.”On Feb. 3, 2020, three Moore High School cross country runners – Kolby Crum, Yuridia Martinez and Rachel Freeman – were killed when they were hit by a drunken driver. Victims, families, school staff members, students, first responders, district leaders and contributors all attended the ceremony to see the new memorial – plaques and bronze footsteps representing the runners lost.“That’s the hardest part to see because the shoe impressions was actually the shoe that Colby wore that day,” Hellbusch, said. “And so those, you know, those were his last steps here, and literally. So, yes, that was emotional to see.”“The plaques – I mean, they’re just amazing – and the pictures on there,” Rachel Freeman's mother, Jodi Freeman, said. “But I think for me, those footprints because on Rachel Dawn's tombstone, part of that reads, 'Her last step here, her last stride here became her next stride here in the arms of her savior and heaven.' And that is the shoe print that I have there is not the actual shoes that she had on that day, but they were her last pair before she got her new pair of running shoes. So, it’s very precious.”Memorial Park will offer comfort and solace after a painful event.“I think my children, the children, our son ... I believe, that this is a place also of comfort, and where they can come and they can see and remember as well,” Jodi Freeman said. “It’s so peaceful. It’s just … it’s the peace God gives me. I will spend probably every day here. I will probably be here, absolutely.”As the sun set Wednesday evening, a dedication ceremony of Memorial Park at Moore High School was presented to those immediately affected by tragedy.“Tragic place, and now it’s … I’m so grateful because it’s a place where we can come and feel peace,” Kolby Crum's mother, Tansey Hellbusch, said. “I can’t even thank the people enough that organized this.
