Victims of California veterans home shooting lived 'to serve others'

(CNN)The three women killed in a standoff at a Northern California veterans home Friday were dedicated to helping former and current military service members with mental health issues.
Jennifer Golick, 42, Christine Loeber, 48, and Jennifer Gonzales, 29, were employees of The Pathway Home, a counseling service for veterans who suffer post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which operates at the Veterans Home of California in Yountville.
Yountville Mayor John Dunbar told CNN affiliate KGO-TV the three women will be remembered as "beautiful people."
"They lived their lives selflessly to serve others," he said. "Each of them brought energy, vitality, personality to their jobs and that's so critical when we're talking about supporting our veterans."
Dunbar also said the gunman, Albert Wong, was a veteran "who clearly had demons." He was a former client of The Pathway Home.
