Acampo woman's best friend shares memories

When Britani Coberly and Tania Wise entered Lodi High School in the fall of 2002, they soon became close friends.

Through a couple years at the school, and then at Liberty High School where they graduated in spring 2007, they remained close. Coberly told Wise of her dreams to have "lots of babies" and to one day work as a nurse and help deliver babies, Wise said.

Last week, they started making plans for Coberly's 21st birthday. That wouldn't happen until May 4, but Coberly wanted to start saving money for a trip to Las Vegas in celebration.

That celebration won't happen, because Coberly was fatally shot after she arrived home Wednesday night.

"It's just crazy. I can't believe it was her that was killed. I don't know who would want to do that to her," Wise said.

Rather than making birthday plans, Wise on Friday was getting T-shirts printed with Coberly's picture on them. She went on social networking Web sites to let people know about a memorial fund, and a fundraiser being held Sunday at Havatan, where Coberly had worked for two years.
