Vigil at 7 p.m. for fire victims
A prayer vigil is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday for the Napa grandmother, her boyfriend and her two grandchildren who died in a house fire early Monday morning.
The vigil will be at 1418 Vale Avenue, the house where Aurora Castanon, 58, her grandsons, Matthew Castanon, 12, Giovanni Mendez, 4, and Aurora’s longtime boyfriend, Eutimio Torres, 37, died in a 5 a.m. Monday fire.
Laura Zepeda, a long-time friend of Norma Mendez, mother of the boys who died in the fire, paid her respects early Tuesday morning at the Vale Avenue home.
“We need people to show their support and come to the prayer vigil tomorrow night. That is the only way the family is going to make it through this nightmare. We need prayers, friends, family and support," said Zepeda.
“Matthew and my son grew up together. This is tragedy is like off the charts. Norma is my best friend. I don’t know she going to get through this,” Zepeda said.
