Hundreds of mourners gathered at Canaan Baptist Church in Harlem on Saturday for the funeral of Lovay Williams, a mother brutally beaten to death in front of her 7-year-old daughter earlier this month. A carriage pulled by two white horses, adorned with Williams' photo and decorated in white and gold trim, transported her casket from the church to the service location. During the ceremony, the young girl was escorted up to view her mother's open casket, where Lovay was dressed in a green dress, light white jacket, gold necklace, and tiara. The funeral was attended by Williams' family members, including her heartbroken brother Nuquan Williams Jr., who wore a necklace with his sister’s picture during the service.
