Also, the Philadelphia Firefighters and Paramedics Union has set up a Joyce Craig memorial fund benefiting her two children. She leaves behind a teenager and a toddler.

The locals president, Joe Schulle says, "Any money that we raise will go directly to her children, so the fund is set up.  We are asking any donations please be sent to the police and fire federal credit union."
