Heartbreaking photos show the mom of two who was killed along with her infant daughter in Saturday night’s boat capsize in New York Harbor, as loved ones rally round to support her grieving husband.
Sweet family pictures show Sara Sanchez, 27, with her husband, Andres Garcia, on a fundraising page to support Garcia after he lost his wife and 5-month-old daughter, Antonella Garcia, when the motorboat they were on overturned near Liberty Island.
“Our friend and colleague Andres Garcia experienced a loss that no husband or father should ever have to endure,” reads the fundraiser.
The pictures show the couple with their 6-year-old son, Salvador, who was not on the boat at the time. The youngster’s birthday is this week, friends told The Post.
One especially heartbreaking picture shows a heavily pregnant Sanchez beaming as she poses with her husband and son for a professional family shoot.
“Those of us who know and work with Andres want to come together around him and their son during the most difficult time of their lives,” the fundraiser continues.
