Gabby Petito Memorial In North Port Planned For Saturday
We’re still searching for answers in the Gabby Petito murder and until authorities find Brian Laundrie we likely won’t have them.
According to the North Port Sun “Friends of Gabby Petito are planning a memorial for her that will include a butterfly release and a candle lighting Saturday evening in North Port.” Click here to see the link to the original post on Facebook.
Here she is at the Monarch Mural in Ogden, Utah. There’s also a memorial remembering Gabby set up at the mural.
The North Port memorial on Saturday is being held at the community tree, which has served as a makeshift memorial since Gabby originally went missing. The butterfly release is set for 7:15 p.m. The candle lighting will follow at dusk.
The City would like to kindly request that any items being brought to City Center Front Green for the Gabby Petito memorial be placed near the large evergreen tree where the memorial has already been set up. pic.twitter.com/wP9kU0MG1i
