NEW YORK -- The death toll from earthquakes in Turkey and Syria has climbed over 20,000, and we've learned a Queens family was tragically killed in the destruction.
"They are our family," friend Dogan Kimilli said.
Friends that are more like family -- that's how Dogan and Nurcan Kimilli describe Burak and Kimberly Marilyn Firik. They did so much together, from marathons to meals to time spent at Mimar Sinan Mosque.
