**gcdevil22** · April 17th, 2007, 10:04 AM

if anyone comes across a full list of names of deceased please pass it my way...it's hard to sift through all the news on the subject after watching it for 24 hours...so if anyone comes across a list i would very much appreciate it

i have seen a preliminary list of 14, and thankfully i don't know any, at least by name...we found the status of one more teammate, so we're down to 4 and hopeful they're not in the last list of 18

again thanks in advance, i probably won't be near my computer again until after the service at 2 but i will be checking as soon as i get back

Mary Karen Read

Friends remembered Read, a 19-year-old freshman from Annandale, Va., for her smile and her caring nature. Read was a fan of marching band and French.

"She was really caring, never had bad intentions for anybody, she put everybody else before herself," friends told FOX News on Tuesday.

Read was born in South Korea into an Air Force family and lived in Texas and California before settling in the northern Virginia suburb of Annandale.

She considered a handful of colleges, including nearby George Mason University, before choosing Virginia Tech. It was a popular destination among her Annandale High School classmates, according to her aunt, Karen Kuppinger.

She had yet to declare a major.

"I think she wanted to try to spread her wings," said Kuppinger, of Rochester, N.Y.

Kuppinger said her niece had struggled adjusting to Tech's sprawling 2,600-acre campus. But she had recently begun making friends and looking into joining a sorority.

Daniel O'Neil

O'Neil, a graduate student in environmental engineering from Lincoln, R.I., graduated in 2002 from Lincoln High School and last year received a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Lafayette College in Easton, Pa., before heading to Virginia, according to The Providence Journal.

A Lafayette publication said that while there, O'Neil was vice president of the Arts Society. His high school yearbook noted he was on the cross country and outdoor track teams, the drama club and the National Honor Society, according to the Providence Journal.

A high school friend, Steve Craveiro, said O'Neil played guitar and wrote his own songs. Craveiro described O'Neil as smart, responsible and a hard worker.

He said O'Neil was destined to be extremely successful.

Jocelyne Couture-Nowak

French language teacher and former Montreal resident, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. She taught at Virginia Tech along with her husband, Jerzy Nowak, a horticulture professor.

Jeremy Herbstritt

Herbstritt was of Johnstown, Penn., according to WJAC-TV. A graduate student in engineering, he had received his bachelor's degree from Penn State, WJAC reported.

Erin Peterson

Student from Centreville, Va.

Brian Bluhm

Graduate student in Civil Engineering

Julie Pryde, 23, of Middletown, N.J., was a graduate student in the Department of Biological Sciences. She traveled to Peru with a professor to work with students there on improving water systems in South America, was fluent in Spanish and enjoyed hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Rachael Hill, 18, of Richmond, Va., a freshman. She had graduated from Grove Avenue Christian School, where Pastor Mark Becton said he had spoken with her mother.

"When you talk to a parent who has just lost a child over something as violent or tragic as this, you just don't know how you will be able to comfort them," Becton said, according to the Richmond Times. "But the first words out of her mouth were, 'We want all the glory to go to God, because that's the way Rachael would have wanted it.'"
