Remembering lives lost

Everyone is invited to attend a celebration of life for Carlee de Boer and Paige Whitelaw.

Whitelaw, from Ladysmith, and de Boer, from Grindrod, died in a car crash March 6 in Vernon when the driver of the truck they were travelling in lost control and hit the ditch, rolling the vehicle.

The two 21-year-olds were attending Okanagan College.

The celebration of life will be held at OK Corral Cabaret in Kelowna March 18 and will feature DJ Bonneau and live music by the Dirt Road Kings after 11 p.m.

The $5 cover charge will go toward a scholarship that is being set up in the girls' names.

The de Boer family has also set up a GoFundMe page with the goal of raising $100,000 for the scholarship.
