Honoring Harper Moyski and Fletcher Merkel: A Community Memorial Event
A memorial event is scheduled for Sunday to honor the life of Harper Moyski, a 10-year-old victim of the tragic mass shooting at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis on August 27. Harper's family will be hosting the celebration at the Lake Harriet Bandshell in Minneapolis, starting at noon. In a heartfelt obituary shared recently, Harper is remembered as a courageous and curious individual who had a deep passion for animals, people, and the environment. She aspired to become a veterinarian and cherished exploring the world with her family, aiming to visit all 63 U.S. National Parks before completing college.
The devastating incident at Annunciation Church also claimed the life of 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel and left 21 others, including 18 children, injured. The community continues to mourn the loss of these young lives and stands in solidarity with the affected families during this difficult time.
