Camp Creek AccidentVictims RememberedATLANTA - Memorial services were held Saturday for a family killed last week in a hit and run crash.
The crash happened on Easter Sunday on Camp Creek Parkway in south Fulton County.
Police are searching for the driver who left the scene - as family and friends celebrate the victims' lives.
Hundreds poured through the doors of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church Saturday morning to remember the Carter family.
Robert – 39-years-old, 38-year-old Delisia, 9-year-old Kayla and 2-month-old Ethan were killed in a crash Easter Sunday.
A driver police believe was involved in the wreck sped away from Camp Creek Parkway afterwards.
"There's so many unanswered questions - what exactly happened?" said friend of the family, Tammy Sims.
Mourners -- temporarily putting away those questions -- focused on celebrating the family.
Delisia Carter was a motivational speaker. "She was just the most brilliant light that I ever knew," said Sims.
Robert Carter was a successful businessman. "The toughest part is knowing he's not there. And Delisia isn't there, the family's not there," said Cassius Butts
The couple was recently married. Friends said both were excited about expanding their family:
Nine-year-old Kayla was an enthusiastic dancer and cheerleader. "They played together a lot, hung out a lot, so she'll definitely be missed," said LaTonya Thompson.
And Ethan was two months into his life. "LIttle Ethan - the little time we spent with him - he was a peaceful baby," said Thompson
For friends and family, their one comfort: the Carters are together as a family.
A vigil is scheduled to remember all five victims of the accident near Camp Creek Parkway Saturday night.
