Residents of a Pennsylvania city gathered to mourn and remember four of the five children who died when fire swept through a home child care center.
A funeral service was held Saturday in Erie for 8-year-old La'Myhia Jones, 6-year-old Luther Jones Jr., 4-year-old Ava Jones and 9-month-old Jaydan Augustyniak. All are siblings. The funeral for 2-year-old Dalvin Pacley will be held Monday.
"There are things that happen in this life that take years to understand. There are things that happen in this life that we will never understand," said Mayor Joe Schember."Why are bright, beautiful children taken away from us in a tragic accident in the middle of the night?" The Rev. Charles Mock of Community Baptist Church drew an ovation as he urged the community that had come together"Don't stop now."
The Rev. Lamont Higginbottom Sr. of Second Baptist Church said children are born"without the sting of hate in their heart" and their loss"seems to rob the community of speech."
