Funeral services will be held Saturday for Renfrew teens Zabrina Rekowski and Keegan Melville.

They were killed on their way back to Sudbury where they went to school, following the Christmas break.

The funeral arrangements for a third victim, Hillary Afelskie, were made Friday. Her parents just returned from Sudbury where they met with hospital officials and decided to donate her organs for transplant, something they had never discussed with their daughter but decided was the right thing to do.

Two buses have been booked to take Laurentian University students to Renfrew Saturday for the services.
