More Than $9,000 Raised in Memory of Milford Resident Jackie Gray

Gray was killed in a car crash on July 3 in Milford.

MILFORD, MA—Jackie Gray was killed in a car crash on July 3, on her way to fireworks with friends. Five people were also injured.

Gray was a 2015 graduate from Milford High School, and attended college in Connecticut, graduating in 2019.

"I live not too far from where the accident took place on Congress Street that took the life of Jackie Gray," said friend Alicia White. "I really wanted to keep this Go Fund Me page for the family moving and because the week of and the week after there was so much in the media about the incidents for the Dallas Shootings during the Black Lives Matter, along with the two other incidents that happened prior to that. It's been awful to imagine that a local family lost a child so tragically and we just couldn't get the word out like we wanted to for the GoFundMe Page.

"Driving by the accident scene everyday reminds me and my boys that life is too short. I would love to see the community continue to rally around this family as Jackie's mother Sandy helps our children each day as the school nurse at the Brookside School."
