Whittier, Ca:
The Hernandez Family children of Whittier, Cynthia, age 9, Edgar age 8, and Xochitl age 5, were remembered tonight at an emotional, tearful Catholic Rosary at St. Mary of the Assumption Church.
More than 450 local community members, family and friends attended the two-hour service that remembered the lives of "three little Angels" who lost their lives in a tragic car accident on the 5 Freeway in Newhall on April 12. Also killed was their 12-year old cousin Luis Villegas from Northern California who is also being laid to rest this week in services in Nor Cal.

"These three children are our little Angels who will be with us in spirit forever," said Father Steven Nyl during the prayer vigil tonight. "We all have been Blessed by these three young people, Cynthia, Edgar and Xolchilt. They touched us all and we will never forget them," he commented at the Spanish speaking service.

Also attending the service tonight was their mother Yessica Hernandez Milan, who is still recovering from injuries she suffered during the horrific crash.
I had the honor to hug and speak with her before the Rosary, and the pain she is going through is beyond words can describe.
