On Makayla Chang香蕉视频直播檚 birthday, the community sang her Happy Birthday, had cake, and made a wish for justice.
A celebration was held Friday evening at a Nanaimo for Chang on what would have been her 18th birthday. The teen went missing two weeks after her 16th birthday in 2017 and was found murdered that spring.
Nearly two years later, and a person has yet to be charged in her death.

About 150 people were at the park Friday and signed a card for Makayla, flipped through a photo album and watched a slide show of happy memories of her with family and friends, taking selfies, dancing, and trying to eat a spoonful of cinnamon.
Lily Morice, who was friends with Makayla, said there are a lot of people in the community who cared about her. Morice said she doesn香蕉视频直播檛 hear much about how the investigation is going and hopes the authorities are working as hard as they possibly can.
香蕉视频直播淚 just hope someone figures it out,香蕉视频直播� she said. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 time for her to let her rest easy instead of trying to figure out what happened.香蕉视频直播�
She said Makayla always wanted to make other people feel good and had a rare ability to light up a room just by walking in. Morice said she loves her friend very much and misses her.
