Members of a Brooklyn family killed in a crash on Long Island were laid to rest on Saturday.
Friends and loved ones said goodbye to 37-year-old Myriam LeBrun, along with her mother and children.
Mourners could not contain their emotions as their caskets were led out of the church in Uniondale.
Marcus Jeanty, 14, along with 9-year-old Marcel and 8-year-old Kayla were with their mother at a family gathering last month.
They and their grand mother, 68-year-old Yolande Moise were also killed in the crash.
“When I think back on Myriam and the mom, it’s just love. And I guess it was too much, if that makes sense. Myriam and Yolande—they just caring, open their doors to everybody…any and every body,” said family friend Dillon Brown.
“It’s a very sad tragedy to see all the family—five people died and are buried today. It’s very sad for the Haitian community,” said family supporter Fania Termidor.
Lebrun lost control of her vehicle along the Southern State Parkway when she crashed her car.
State police are looking into whether speed or alcohol played a role in the crash.
