UPDATE: A fundraising page has been set-up to help recover the body of a young woman who was killed on Friday in Oregon.
Janelle Cecilia Lawlor was en route to a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Conference in Salt Lake City, when the driver fell asleep at the wheel.
Lawlor did not have any insurance, according to her mother Lisa Lawlor. Friends of the family have set up a Go Fund Me page to help the family raise money to help her mother with the repatriation of her remains.
“I can’t wait until we get to the part where we just get to celebrate her life, have her back here and get together with all our friends and family and reminisce about her beautiful life she spent her with us,” Lawlor told Global News.
In the past seven hours, $9,500 of the $15,000 total goal has been donated.
