Samira Xhaferi, 28 vjeç, dhe Albi Çela, 30 vjeç, të fejuar, humbën jetën tragjikisht në një aksident automobilistik në Cleveland, Ohio, të martën, më 11 nëntor.

Samira ishte studente e doktoraturës në Cleveland State University dhe vajza e dashur e Fatos dhe Miranda Xhaferi dhe motra e Sidrit Xhaferi. 

Albi ishte në përfundim të studimeve në Cleveland State University Law dhe po përgatitej për provimin e jurisprudencës; ai ishte djali i çmuar i Xhevahir Cela dhe Ledina Memcaj, dhe vellai i Klit Cela. 

Të dy njiheshin për mirësinë, kureshtjen dhe dashurinë e tyre për dijen, si edhe për ngrohtësinë dhe kujdesin që tregonin ndaj çdo personi përreth tyre.
