Oxnard - Organizers of the annual Thanksgiving meal at the Ventura County Rescue Mission are mourning a murder victim who should have been at their feast Wednesday.

Many people at today's meal said a prayer for the 32-year-old Sarah Overholser.

A photo of the homeless mother from Oxnard is up on the wall near the dining hall. She battled depression before she was found strangled off the coast.

The Rescue Mission serves about 800 meals day in Oxnard and on this day hundreds of volunteers waited the tables.

The Mission is known for it's large kitchen.

This year their chefs cooked 3,000 pounds of turkey and delivered meals to other non-profits in need of food.
