SHELBYVILLE, Ind. -- The more details that are released about the three people from Shelbyville killed in a plane crash in Virginia Friday night, the more heartbreaking the story is.

Luke, 19, Emma, 15, and their mother, Lisa Borinstein, 52, were all active members in their New Palestine Church community.

They'll be missed by their friends, family and church.

At just 8 years old, Wyatt Warren is experiencing the same confusion and pain as the entire Brookville Road church community in New Palestine.

"It is just really confusing," he said. "I just don't know why it could happen."

Wyatt looked up to Luke Borinstein.

"It is like a moment-by-moment roller coaster," Wyatt's sister Molly said.

Molly tries to catch her breath to remember Luke and what he would want.

"I want people to know that Luke tangibly gave others Christ's love and I want to do that as well," she said.

Counselors will be on hand this week at Triton Central High School where Emma Borinstein was a student and her brother was a graduate.

An exchange student from Germany was also killed. She was a junior at the high school. 

The school is also hosting a celebration of life Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
