“I’m a mom. It touched my heart just like everybody else,” said Angel Jackson, who is organizing the event.
“There’s going to be candle lighting, a balloon release, so it’s pretty much like a children’s birthday party,” she said.
The celebration will be held Sunday at the Mulberry Community Church in Wilkinsburg, starting at 6:30 p.m.
“She just seemed like she was full of life. One of those kids that knew a lot, was ahead of her time,” Jackson said. "Now we can let her rest in peace."
