NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (WIVB) - Family and friends of Loretta Gates gathered Wednesday night in Niagara Falls to remember the young mother of three who had just begun turning her life around.

People poured into the Zajac Funeral Home for the 30-year-old's memorial service. Gates disappeared just over a month ago. Police found her torso in the Niagara River near the Rainbow Bridge several days later.

Gates' oldest daughter, Kyla Lewis, said, "It makes me feel better having all the support. She was a wonderful, beautiful woman. I will always love her and miss her."

Friend of Gates Tina Lewandowski said, "I ask anybody out there who knows anything, even if it's the littlest detail, to please contact somebody. Because this could be your mother, this could be your daughter, this could be your sister."

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call Niagara Falls Police.
