GoFundMe Campaign underway for Seidle Children

As mourning continues over Tuesday's shooting death of Tamara Seidle, allegedly by her ex-husband, Neptune Police Sgt. Philip Seidle, a crowdfunding campaign has been launched for the couple's nine children.

Friends of the family set up the gofundme campaign hours after the Seidle's death, according to the Asbury Park Press. As of this morning the site has raised more than $11,500.

The couple's nine children range in age from 7 to 24. The youngest child was in the vehicle with her father when authorities said Sgt. Seidle chased his ex-wife through Asbury Park and killed her in front of their daughter.

Seidle filed a divorce complaint in 2013, accusing her husband of domestic violence and having an affair, according to court documents. They divorced last month after a 15 year marriage.

Meanwhile, Seidle was remembered as a deeply religious, dedicated mother and "town mom," who was was kind and loving at a prayer vigil Wednesday night. Some 250 people attended the special service at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Roman Catholic Church in Asbury Park, where Seidle worked as a director of religious education, according to the Asbury Park Press.

Philip Seidle remains jailed on $2 million cash bail, after a judge Wednesday refused to lower it. Seidle's attorney unsuccessfully argued his client had no prior criminal record and no official domestic violence record.
