In Memoriam
Philip Vetrano, who is a retired New York firefighter, was supported by his fellow peers as they “lined up outside the entrance as Karina’s casket was carried into the church,” according to The New York Daily News. Reports show that, aside from her closest family and friends, hundreds of people attended her funeral. Philip described his daughter in these words, “She was so full of life, light, beauty and power. Just like a shooting star burns out at its greatest point, so did Karina.”
