After four years of hard work studying and playing volleyball away from her family in Puerto Rico, Roxana Vazquez was finally graduating with her degree in chemical engineering and looking forward to celebrating with her family and friends in Beckley. She has landed a job with Smurfit Westrock in Greenbrier County and is preparing to start her next chapter of life. Unfortunately, her father suffered a heart attack the day before graduation. Rushed to Raleigh General Hospital, Vazquez walked across the stage without her father in the crowd.
