The site of a tragic accident that took the life of 6-year-old Aria Woznick turned into a safe haven for a reeling North Belle Vernon community Monday night. A few hundred people gathered outside First Presbyterian Church to pay their respects in a candlelit vigil. Ever since Aria was struck by a vehicle on her way to the bus stop Friday morning, the community has come together and supported her family. Family, friends and even people who hadn’t met Aria or her family came together to mourn a life taken too soon.
