WEYMOUTH, MA — Survivors and relatives of a Massachusetts family killed in a crash during a vacation to Disney World last week say they’re extremely grateful for the friends and strangers who have opened their arms to support them.
In the Fay family home in Weymouth, they told WBZ-TV Wednesday they lean on each other for strength and give thanks for the two surviving sisters, Shalie and Skylar Smith.
“I’m grateful that they’re alive. I mean honestly. I’m grateful that Bill was there,” Shane said. “I don’t think I could have done this by myself.”

Shane Smith and his father-in-law Bill Fay were just a day into a Disney vacation meticulously planned by Bill’s daughter, Julie, Shane’s wife. “She’d pretty much say, ‘mom, dad, you’re going right?’ And we enjoyed it,” Shane said.
Those looking to support the family can donate to their GoFundMe here. A pediatric fund has also been set up at Tufts Medical Center.
