Raleigh, N.C. — The family of a slain pregnant woman will hold a vigil Monday night for her unborn child.

Jenna Nielsen, 22, was found stabbed to death on June 4 behind a Raleigh convenience store. Nielsen was eight months pregnant with her third son, whom she called Ethen.

Family and friends will honor the child with a candlelight ceremony, starting at 7:30 p.m. It will be held at the Bicentennial Mall across from the Legislative Building in downtown Raleigh.

The public is invited to attend.

I hope i don't sound insensitive,but I would not allow my wife to deliver newspaper's in the early hours of the mourning. I would work 24/7 before I would let my wife pregnant or not pregnant deliver newspapers. when a woaman is eight months pregnant she should rest a whole lot more.
