May 3, 2009 (Kearny NJ)  As we gather today like many Sundays with our families and friends one story reminds us how precious these moments in time are.   Yesterday, family, friends, the St. Stephen's Church community, and Kearny paid their last respects to five members of one family:  siblings Anna Kane,76, Rose Kane, 75, Francis Kane, 78, of Kearny and their sister Jeanette Urbano, 72 and her husband, Salvatore Urbano, 74 of Passaic.  On April 25, a tractor trailer accident on the New Jersey Turnpike in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey turned a joyful trip to a wedding into a tragic event that claimed their lives.  Our condolences to their family and friends. 

The Star Ledger ran a story highlighting the contributions made by the Kanes and Urbanos.  Truly a tragic story.  Of comfort, the knowledge that wonderful people still exist in our community working behind the scenes to help those in need.  May their goodness continue in the acts of those who they have helped throughout the years. 

Moving photographs of the funeral are also available courtesy of the Star Ledger.
