Port Moresby residents are slowly gathering at Fort Bena, UPNG, for the late Ruby Laufa's candlelight vigil.
Currently numbering at almost 100, friends, families, colleagues as well as the general public have gathered to celebrate Laufa's life.
“Today is her 25th birthday. We were supposed to celebrate her birthday on Saturday,” says close friend Avis Babalu.
“She wanted all her friends to wear black while she would be in white. This is why we are wearing white this evening to remember her and to give thanks for her life.”
More than 20 lanterns will be released as soon as the family arrives.
Also, a word of prayer will be said during the event to commit all who have lost their loved ones in the world.
