ROCKAWAY, NJ — A memorial candlelight walk is being held in remembrance of Mallory Grossman on the first anniversary of her death this Thursday.

The vigil will be held on June 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Parks Lake Gazebo in Rockaway in honor of the Rockaway pre-teen, who died by suicide last year. Attendees are asked to bring their own candles.

The Grossman family will be remembering privately, family friend Katee Reddin Petro said, but those who wish to honor Mallory can attend the candlelight walk, which is organized by local community members.
