Published March 13, 2024 at 9:05AM

Greg passes on this very sad GoFundMe for Vanessa Villarreal Schwartz:

“Vanessa Villarreal Schwartz – mother, wife, daughter, niece, cousin, and friend – passed away in a tragic accident in the early hours of Sunday March 10, 2024. Vanessa was a beautiful young woman who lived her life completely dedicated to her 8-month old daughter Luciana (Lucy), her husband Michael, and her two parents Luisa and Jose. She was a sweet, generous, loving, and caring woman whose life was cut short by the negligence of a driver for what was supposed to be a safe ride home. (more…)

“Thanks to good neighbors”

“Dear PoPville,

My friend Courtney who is 81 years old, was about to get a cab on March 10 in the corner of Columbia rd and Ontario rd. A car that was parked went en reverse and hit her, she is ok. She wants to thank the good people that helped her to get up, get her cane and assisted her to go back home. She appreciates the kind gesture, hopefully the good neighbors will know she is doing good thanks to their help.”
