❤❤Community Candlelight Vigil in Memory of Avontai Hartleib❤❤

The family of Avontai Hartleib invites community members to gather in her memory and stand together in support during this difficult time.

A candlelight vigil will take place:
📍 Corner of Sargent Avenue and Young Street
📅 Monday, February 23, 2026
🕖 7:00 PM

Avontai was only 18 years old. Her life mattered. She was deeply loved and will always be remembered by her family, friends, and community.

As her family prepares for her funeral, they carry a heavy loss and are asking the community to stand with them in prayer, compassion, and solidarity. Your presence and support mean more than words can express.

Please bring a prayer, flowers, or simply come to hold space together as we surround the family with care and remind them they are not alone.
