WATCH: Eli Manning Makes Message For Paramus Crash Victims

PARAMUS, NJ — The New York Giants' Eli Manning recorded a special message for the victims and families of East Brook Middle School.

"I just wanted to reach out out to everyone at East Brook Middle School that everyone on the Giants is thinking about you and praying for you during this tough time," Manning said. "Stay together, stay close, rely on each other and you’ll get through this.”

There were 46 people on the bus, 38 students from East Brook Middle School on the bus, along with seven teachers and chaperones, and the driver, Hudy Muldrow Sr. Of the 38 students, 34 have been released from the hospital.

Three of the remaining four students, including Sofia Evelich, remain admitted at Morristown Medical Center, said Arnie O'Callaghan, the father of Brendan O'Callaghan, who was seriously injured in the crash. Brendan is at Children’s Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick.

Two people, teacher Jennifer Williamson-Kennedy and 10-year-old student Miranda Faith Vargas died in the Mount Olive crash. They were buried this week.
