Friends of Christie McWilliams and her 13-year-old daughter McKinley have created a t-shirt fundraiser in their honor. The mother and daughter were killed July 5th in a shooting that also claimed the life of responding Rittman Police Sgt. Scott Ries. The shirt has the mother and daughter’s names on angel wings and topped with a halo, alongside designs that reflect the pair. There is a cowboy boot filled with flowers at the center because they both loved country music. And a softball rests near the heel to represent McKinley’s love for the sport. The shirts can be ordered online starting at $20, and the creator says all proceeds will benefit the family. There is also a verified GoFundMe account to help with funeral expenses and to support Christine’s family and surviving son.
