Celebrating Life: Dance For Sabina

Rest In Paradise: Sabina Rose O’Donnell.

It’s still very difficult for me to actually acknowledge that you’re gone. Known by many to be a petite girl with a giant heart, she was always sweet and always dancing whenever she wasn’t working. I could never imagine a person such as her could die so violently, in the blink of an eye. But in the end, I think she would would be amazed how many people cared about her. How many people are supporting her family and sending her prayers. Philadelphia’s reaction to your death is astounding, and a heartbreaking reality check. Death always finds a way to bring people together. I’d like to think it’s because it makes us realize how fragile we really are. I wish we could’ve gotten closer but I cherish the fun times we had party’n and of course chill’n in The Piazza. You will be missed, kiddo.

There is a movement in Philly to bring her killer to justice. Tommy Up; Owner of the PYT Restaurant & Bar where she worked, has started a Sabina Rose O’Donnell Fund. If you would like to make a cash, check or paypal donation, e-mail him at pytphilly@gmail.com. Also, everyone is dedicating their parties to Sabina this week and giving all proceeds to the fund. So party on friends! This is how you can help out. Mo Money No Problems at Silk, Mojito (Dance For Sabina) at Octo, Locals Only at PYT and even The Roots Picnic will have tables set-up for donations. So come out this week, chill out with good folks and celebrate her life. Also, remember to be safe in these streets! Summer is here and ignorant monsters don’t know how to act.
