VERO BEACH – Family members and friends of those killed as a result of criminal actions of others gathered Thursday at Veterans Memorial Island Sanctuary to remember their loved ones.
“We must not – cannot forget the real victims of crime,” said Paul Zelno, a member of the Indian River County Victims’ Rights Coalition, during the 19th annual Victims’ Rights Vigil.
Zelno lost his wife, Donna, in 2007 to a drunk driver.
Vero Beach attorney Erin Grall, a candidate for the District 29 seat in the Florida House of Representatives, was the keynote speaker during the vigil.
Tragedy struck the Morales family again in 1967, however, when Morales’ mother was hit and killed by a drunk driver, Morales says, getting choked up. Morales enlisted in the U.S. Army shortly thereafter, but was quickly released on a medical discharge. Maryland: State Police found 463 drivers to be DUI / DWI during July 2012 — cars don’t kill people, drunks behind the wheel kill people Posted by Editor A great way to get a free ride on this new Maryland State Police medevac helicopter is to operate a motorcycle while impaired and go too fast around a curve.
Grall, a friend of Zelno’s son from school days, went to the hospital to be with the family when Donna was brought it after the crash.
“I saw first-hand the impact of the death of Donna” on the Zelnos, Grall said.
She also told the audience that a young woman she knew her freshman year of college was killed in a DUI-related crash.
The drunk driver had been arrested six times before for driving under the influence, Grall said.
“The system let him go,” she said.
Grall told the audience that while work must be done to take on those large issues, they should not lose sight of the small steps they can take, by working with youth.
“We cannot stop,” Grall said. “We need to look at where we can make a difference.”
She said they need to work with at-risk children, providing a positive atmosphere and influence. Grall explained that messages in the media and video games give children the impression that death is not permanent.
“We are missing the boat,” she said, if children are not taught the difference between right and wrong and that there are consequences to their actions.
To end the vigil, Margie Ellis, from the State Attorney’s Office, sang “I believe I can fly” as butterflies were released and VFW Honor Guard Post 1139’s Ed Bagley played Taps.
“The Indian River County Sheriff’s Office is not only dedicated to reducing the amount of crime that occurs in our county, but we also realize the importance of having the resources and support available to victims of crime and their families,” Sheriff Deryl Loar said in a statement. “I am proud to support Victim’s Rights Week here in Indian River County.”
