After a tragic incident at Comox Lake last week, a community gathering has been planned for this weekend to remember those who died.
The family of 26-year-old Lynae and her 5-month-old Elias are inviting the community to Comox Marina Park Sunday, August 10 to remember them and thank the community for their support.
In a statement on social media, the family said they are heartbroken by the tragedy that happened at Comox Lake on July 31.
“Thank you to the police, paramedics, and people on the beach who tried to save our beautiful babies who we know are safe in the arms of Jesus.”
They were killed by a falling tree, with Lynae passing away at the scene of the incident while her child Elias was transported to hospital but didn’t survive.
The family asks that any donations in honour of the two should be made to the Nesting Place Society.
The gathering is scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.
