9-year-old Trinity Jones was murdered and stuffed into a duffel bag. Her mother and mother's boyfriend have been convicted of the crime. People in her community were horrified by the tragedy and hundreds of people attended the funeral. Trinity's father set up a bright and lovely service to honor Trinity the way she would have wanted it.

This article was written to inform the readers about the situation. Even people who had never met Trinity came to support. The author conveys the sadness of the story, while also finding hope in the community's response.

It is heartwarming to see the community's reaction to such a horrible crime. This story reminds me of the death of Emmitt Til during the Civil Rights movement. His murder shocked many people and lit a fire in the Civil Rights movement. Many young people have been treated so horribly in our history.
