NEW YORK - May 04, 2012

A funeral Mass is being held at the Church of St. Raymond in the Bronx Friday morning.

Killed in Sunday's wreck were Jacob Nunez and Ana Julia Martinez, who were visiting from the Dominican Republic; their daughters, Maria Gonzalez and Maria Nunez, and three grandchildren, ages 3, 7 and 10.

The grandparents' bodies were being returned to the Dominican Republic.
