Coffin of nanny killed in condo collapse returns to Paraguay
Wrapped in a Paraguayan flag and with a photograph of her young face, a coffin with the remains of Leidy Vanessa pgslot Luna Villalba arrived Tuesday in Asuncion where it was received by relatives grieving the nanny killed when a Miami-area condominium tower collapsed.
The 23-year-old had been working for the family of the sister of Paraguayan first lady Silvana Abdo in the building in Surfside, Florida, that fell June 24. The bodies of the sister, Sophia López Moreira; her husband, Luis Pettengill; and the youngest of their three children have been found. Their two other children remain missing.
Traveling with Luna Villalba's coffin on the flight was her mother, Juana Villalba, and cousin Lourdes Luna. They did not make comments at the airport as they disembarked.
Her wake will be held in the town of Eugenio Garay, 170 kilometers (106 miles) south of Asuncion.
“Leidy's mother is being seen to by two psychologists from the Ministry of Women, but with this the grieving process begins. We must respect their pain in silence, it is time for consolation in the embrace," Foreign Minister Euclides Acevedo said iat a news conference after greeting the women. |
