Funerals have begun for the 14 people killed in last week’s shooting massacre in San Bernardino. On Thursday, family members and friends gathered to remember Yvette Velasco, a 27-year-old woman who had been due to begin working as a county health inspector after recently passing a state exam.

Dani Podwys, family friend: “I really, really hope that her family gets comforted by knowing how many people cared and how many lives she touched and how well she’ll be remembered, that she’s not gone, because she touched too many other people’s lives to ever be gone.”
