A funeral is scheduled for Saturday for two of the three people who died after their plane that left Shafter en route to Wyoming crashed in Utah, according to the Gillette News Record.
Trista Meyer, 34, and her daughter Shyann Lenz, 9, will be buried in South Dakota. On Friday night, mourners in Gillette, Wyo., where they lived for the past few years, had the opportunity to honor them when a plane carrying their bodies conducted a flyover of the Gillette-Campbell County Airport, according to the News Record.
The funeral arrangements for Matthew Ahrens, 37, Meyer's boyfriend and a Bakersfield native, are pending, said Donna Moran, his oldest sister.
