Attendees at a vigil Sunday for Groundworks Collaborative following the tragic death of Leah Rosin-Pritchard are being asked to live their lives with compassion, empathy and kindness in her memory.

On the morning of April 3, Zaaina Asra Zakirrah Mahvish-Jammeh, a resident of Morningside Shelter, allegedly attacked and killed Rosin-Pritchard, the shelter coordinator, with an axe. Mahvish-Jammeh is being held without bail on a charge of first-degree murder. Windham Superior Court Judge Katherine Hayes has ordered a competency evaluation for Mahvish-Jammeh.

Kheya Ganguly, director of trauma prevention and resilience development for the state of Vermont, called for healing via community rather than isolation. She stressed the importance of celebrating ideals Rosin-Pritchard exemplified such as compassion, warmth, empathy and love.
