Murder-suicide victim. A young life taken far too soon. She, her mother and four of her five siblings were murdered by her security guard-father, who then committed suicide. Her eldest sister Teresa, who during the time of the murders was confined in Boston City Hospital after being beaten by her father over a canister of popcorn, was the lone survivor of the tragedy. She, in fact, was the one who first discovered her entire family's bodies upon coming home from the hospital around a day or two after the murders. Teresa, however, would never recover from the trauma of the incident until the day she died. May this beloved child rest in heavenly peace.
