Family in Need After Tragic Murder of Daughter

Our beloved friends, Marie and Mannie Sardinha, and their family, recently suffered the devastating loss of their daughter, Laura Sardinha.  Laura was a vibrant and passionate 25 year old, recovering from a major motorcycle accident.  She was transforming herself in school working toward a psychology degree devoting herself to helping others. She also shared her culinary skills baking elegant and creative cupcakes, cookies, cakes, and other sweets for her family and friends.  Laura gave of herself easily and generously, and had beautiful and loving relationships with her parents, brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, and numerous friends. 

Tragically, Laura's generosity and heart were taken advantage of by a man she was dating, and she was brutally murdered. We are all completely shocked and devastated by this evil and senseless tragedy.  At the same time that our hearts ache for her and everyone she has left behind, our hearts are united in loving support.

The purpose of this page is to help raise money to assist Laura's family with recovery and funeral expenses. 
Laura's family needs your support now.  Please help her family recuperate from their tremendous heartbreak and unexpected financial burden they are facing. Marie and Mannie are extremely generous long term members of their church, YMCA, and Toastmasters and never hesitated to give their time, energy and love to everyone in their community.  No one deserves the burden of losing a child, and especially Marie and Mannie.
Any contribution would help Marie and Mannie Sardinha tremendously toward covering funeral and final expenses, and would be greatly appreciated and remembered.
 Please also help get the word out by sharing the link via email, Facebook, etc.
