Today at 3: Sabina Rose O'Donnell Memorial at Liberty Lands

Tommy Up of P.Y.T. has organized a memorial at Liberty Lands (Third between Brown and Poplar) today for Sabina Rose O'Donnell, the P.Y.T. employee who was murdered last week in Northern Liberties. The memorial runs from 3 to 7 p.m. and all are welcome. Details via Up after the jump; please note that donations to offset burial costs for O'Donnell's family are still being accepted via pytphilly.com/sabina and at the Piazza restaurant, too.
Sabina was an otherworldly, magical little sprite. She & my girlfriend would take our dog to Liberty Lands, the gorgeous park in Northern Liberties, and spend hours playing in the nature there that Sabina loved so much. They would play with ladybugs and pick up ants and put them somewhere else. Sabina used to be really upset when she saw the changes at Liberty Lands last year. I kept telling my girl to tell her that they were improving the park and building a stage and making it even prettier, but she was worried they were building condos there. It was her little conspiracy theory. When she saw how incredible it looked after, with the new trees and grass and stage, she was delighted. I feel like it's fate that the changes were made in time for her memorial. There will be food from all of Sabina's favorite local restaurants. The Vegetarian Chicken Wings at El Camino were her favorite food ever. There will be a champagne toast for everyone at the park. Sabina didn't drink beer, just champagne, because beer wasn't "classy". Thank you to everyone for using their unique gifts and talents and pulling together in this time where we all need each other. It's a truly magical thing. Sabina's mom & all of her friends did not want to remember this 20 year old girl's life with a boring old funeral service. She would have hated it. This is what she would have loved. Expect beauty, music, laughs, tears and a lot of love.
