<\/p>\nSAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — A Northern California family is grieving the loss of one loved one and holding onto memories of three others after the U.S. Coast Guard suspended its search Wednesday for survivors from a San Francisco Bay boat capsizing.<\/p>\n
Three women – Jackie Boisa, Carol Boisa and a family friend identified as Tondra – remained missing Wednesday evening after the Volare, a cabin cruiser carrying 20 people and a dog, overturned Tuesday during an outing to spread a loved one’s ashes.<\/p>\n
