Over the weekend, a wake was held for Peter and Lillian Sabados, a Staten Island couple killed by a driver while walking to Thanksgiving Eve mass last week. The Daily News reports that Rev. Mario Ramirez said, "It's a loss for us as a church. They were very faithful people who were very kind to everyone they knew." (At the time of the incident, septuagenarian couple had been bringing canned goods for the needy.) And their great-niece said of the driver, Allmir Lekperic whose license was suspended 29 times since 2006, "I feel sorry for him. Either he'll never be able to live with himself for killing two people, or he's too broken to understand the consequences of his actions." more ›
