This weekend, families and friends will celebrate the lives and mourn the deaths of two women killed by a hit-and-run driver last week in Coquitlam.
Charlene Reaveley, 30, and Lorraine Cruz, 26, were run down on Lougheed Highway near Pitt River Road in Coquitlam and Cruz's boyfriend, Paulo Calimahin, was seriously injured.
Following are details of the memorial services for each woman:
