Celebration of life planned for Quinn Butt

Friends and family of Quinn Butt have a "celebration of life" planned for this morning in Riverhead, Harbour Grace.

The service is set to take place at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church at 10:30 a.m.

On Thursday, about 2,500 people attended a candlelight vigil for the five-year-old who died at her father's home in Carbonear last weekend.

Police have charged Butt's father with first-degree murder.

• Mourners light it up for Quinn at massive, moving vigil in Harbour Grace
• Parents who kill their children: Why would someone do the unthinkable?

Family are asking that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Iris Kirby House in St. John's, a foundation that offers shelter to women and children experiencing domestic violence.
