Miami mourners remember tight-knit family at first funeral for victims of condo collapse
The Peninsula
SURFSIDE, Fla - A few hundred mourners filled a Miami Beach church on Tuesday to memorialize two young girls and their parents in the first funeral for victims of the condominium building collapse nearly two weeks ago.
In a service at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Marcus Guara, 52, his wife Ana Guara, 42, and their daughters, Lucia, 10, and Emma, 4, were remembered as a tight-knit family who enjoyed walking on the beach and doing other simple things together. The family perished when half of the 12-story Champlain Towers South building in Surfside, Florida collapsed in the early hours of June 24, leaving at least 32 dead and 113 still missing as rescue workers continued sifting through the rubble.More Related News
