NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A family came together to remember the lives of a couple on the five-year anniversary of their deaths.

Preston Claybrooks and Alexandra Grubbs were beaten to death in their East Nashville apartment in 2015.

Claybrooks' mother Malenche Marable said she thinks about the couple every day.

"Not a day goes by that I don't miss them," Marable said. "You try to do things that simplify the pain, that ease the pain but it never goes away."

Brandon Griswold and Whitney Gray pleaded guilty to their murders in 2017 and were sentenced to life in prison.
