Vigil honors 5 SunTrust bank shooting victims

Some of the families say they are turning to their faith to get through this difficult time.

SEBRING, Fla. — Hundreds of people attended a vigil Sunday evening to honor the five women killed Wednesday in the SunTrust bank shooting.

Ana Piñon-Williams, 38; Cynthia Watson, 65; Marisol Lopez, 55; Jessica Montague, 31; and Debra Cook, 54, each are remembered for their love to others.

Gov. Ron DeSantis was set to attend the event, but the trip was canceled because of inclement weather, his office said.

"No one should ever have to lose a child," said Greg Warner, Montague’s father. "Especially one as great as she was. I don’t say that because I was her dad. 

"I say that because it’s true."

The SunTrust bank branch on U.S. Highway 27 will not reopen, the company said Saturday. Customers are asked to use locations in north Sebring, Avon Park or its SunTruck Mobile Branch at 126 West Center Ave.
