Hundreds of Lisa Chung’s family and friends gathered Wednesday evening in front of South Grand Prairie High School to remember the recent graduate that died Tuesday from injuries as a result of a boating accident near Cancun, Mexico.

Chung, 18, along with several of her classmates traveled to Mexico on a post-graduation trip.  A boat the group was riding to go snorkeling partially sank Saturday, sending the passengers into the water.  Chung was apparently trapped under the water when she was run over by a rescue boat.

A fund has been established in Chung’s name to help the family with medical expenses.  Persons wishing to contribute can contact any location of the Grand Bank of Texas for more information.
