Services held for three small children killed in fire

Tuesday, March 14, 2000 | 10:41 a.m.

Three children who were killed in an apartment fire have been eulogized as angels in a solemn ceremony.

The three, 4-year-old LeDeana, 3-year-old Jae and 2-year-old Eric Williams III, were buried Monday next to their father, Eric, who died in 1997 of diabetes.

Elder Henry Burks of the Paradise Apostolic Church said the three children now have no wants, no needs and no pain.

"They came into this life as angels, and they are leaving as angels," he said.

Meanwhile, the investigation continues into the cause of the March 7 fire, which also killed 73-year-old Sam Klonder.
