The Yonkers victims of the wrong way crash on the Taconic State Parkway were honored Monday  at a memorial mass in Yonkers. It was one year ago today that Diane Schuler of Long Island drove the wrong way on the parkway, striking another car head-on, and killing herself and seven other people. Authorities determined that she was severely drunk and high on marijuana at the time.

Today, members and friends of three Yonkers men killed in the crash, Michael and guy Bastardi and Daniel Longo, gathered to remember their loved ones in a special mass at St. John the Baptist Church in Yonkers.

The Rev. Thomas Valenti told those present that healing for relatives could take years,adding, "We're still sad remembering the tragedy that took our brothers from us a year ago. We pray that God will give us strength this morning."

Roseann Guzzo of Yorktown, whose father and brother were killed in the crash said, "We have to deal with a lot of stuff that's going on still. I know they're in a better place, but we still deal with some things to me that I told Father (Valenti) are evil, and he said we still live in this room and he said we need to keep praying."

Members of the Bastardi and Longo family donated a chalice and paten for the church for use during communion in the mens' honor.
