A Virginia Beach girl on a spring break trip with her parents and three brothers lost her life March 5 in Charlottesville at the University of Virginia medical center after a ski accident at Snowshoe. According to media reports, the victim was Laila Serpe, a seventh-grader at Cape Henry Collegiate School. “She skied right off that mountain and straight to heaven,” her mother was quoted as saying.
