Katelynn Tolzman Dies

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Tonight's boys and girls basketball games between Grafton and Homestead high schools have been postponed following the announcement earlier today that a third teenager has died from injuries suffered in last Friday's two-vehicle crash on I-43 in Grafton.

Katelynn M. Tolzman, 16, of the Town of Grafton, and a sophomore cheerleader at Grafton High School, died early this morning at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa, Ozaukee County Coroner John Holicek said.

Also postponed is the hockey game that was scheduled tonight between Grafton-Port Washington High School and St. Mary's Springs High School in Fond du Lac, Grafton High Athletic Director Scott Parsons said.

Grafton students are being allowed to leave school early today because of the news, Parsons said.

"It's been just a very, very tough week here and with this news coming today it just doesn't make sense to play," Parsons said.

Aaron J. Prom, 17, of Saukville, is in critical but stable condition at Froedtert. Tolzman and Prom were passengers in a Mazda sedan driven by Kathryn Zoromski when the car left the southbound lanes north of Pioneer Road, crossed the median and slipped beneath a cable barrier.

...Zoromski, 16, of the Town of Grafton, and another passenger, Brandon Melichar, 17, of the Town of Port Washington, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Kathryn Zoromski's funeral was on Wednesday. Brandon Melichar's funeral was yesterday.

Now, this morning, news comes that Katelynn Tolzman died of her injuries.

There will be yet another funeral, more grieving. It's heartbreaking.

God be with the family and friends of Katelynn.
