The Flores family gathered Friday to remember their daughter, cousin, niece and friend Helena Flores after she tragically fell out of a window in February.
St. Mary's park lit up as over a dozen bright lanterns were released into the sky in her memory. Family members and friends were dressed in pink, which was the 4-year-old's favorite color.
They also listened to inspirational music for comfort.
Helena fell from a fourth floor apartment building on East 140th Street.
Family and friends called this ceremony 'Helena's Six Month Angelversary' and plan to remember her with a dinner on the one-year anniversary of her tragic death.
