Naperville resident Eva Liu and a friend were attacked near the bridge last week, and Liu later died after being thrown into a deep ravine.
Zhang said congregants are “so saddened and shocked” by what occurred to Liu, a May graduate of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He hosted a small gathering last week for those who wanted to sing, pray and share in the mourning. Liu and Chang were both graduates of the academy and U of I, where they completed bachelor’s degrees in computer science and were board members for the student chapter of Women in CyberSecurity.The pair were visiting Neuschwanstein Castle, an attraction upon which Cinderella’s castle at Disneyland and Disney World are said to have been based. It’s a location that draws more than a million visitors annually.
While Chen didn’t know the family, the gesture was a “really nice” way to acknowledge the young woman, she said.“We don’t want to be intrusive at this time,” said Chen, who’s the founder and president of Chinese American Women in Action, known as CAWA. “We want to respect privacy.” Tami Armstrong, the math and science academy’s chief public affairs and development officer, said in a statement that Liu was a dedicated, academically talented and involved student. She served as a student leader in her residence hall and coordinated programming for her peers, fostering a safe and supportive environment, she said.
