The community around Farmingdale High School is mourning the lives of band director Gina Pellettiere, 43, and retired teacher Beatrice Ferarri, 77, both killed in Thursday's bus crash in Orange County.
"She was a mom, a grandmother, mother-in-law, she was like a mom to me," said Ferrari’s son-in-law Daniel Aldieri. "She loved band camp. She must’ve gone 30 years. It was a trip she looked forward to it every year, to have her go this way is so sad."Officials tell FOX 5 NY that the company that operated the bus that crashed have failed seven inspections over the last two years.
Pellettiere, known to students as "Ms. P," was not only a dedicated educator but a devoted single mother to a toddler. "I said ‘You have a great job,’ and she said ‘I have the best job, and what’s better than teaching my passion,’" Perna said.
