On Wednesday our community was shaken to the core by the horrific news. Our dear friend and caring neighbor Vera and her two precious little girls Vivian (Vivi) and Amilia (Amilusha) were brutally murdered inside their home. Vera was a devoted and a loving mom to a fun loving, energetic, always smiling 7-year-old Vivi and delicate, kind, sweet 4-year-old Amilusha. She did her best to keep them safe and happy but their lives were cut too short in the most gruesome way.

We are asking you to help us make a proper send off for Vera and the girls. Their family members, sister/aunt with a newborn baby and 87-year-old grandmother/great grandmother, live overseas. As you can imagine, they were not at all prepared for the financial burden that comes along with a proper funeral service, burial and the transportation costs as they would like to lay them to rest in their hometown. All the donations will be going to offset these costs.

We truly appreciate all your thoughts, prayers and any support you are able to lend at this time.

An update for the memorial service will be posted as soon as the arrangements are finalized.
