Funeral held for family killed by carbon monoxide poisoning

PRINCESS ANNE — The images were as overwhelming as the tragedy that stunned this Somerset County town two weeks ago.

Eight identical white hearses gleaming in Saturday's sunshine, side by side in a driveway. Eight white-draped coffins lined up in an auditorium, their lids open to reveal the bodies of victims arranged from the youngest, a 6-year-old girl, on the right to the oldest, her 36-year-old father, on the left.

A steady line of mourners wore expressions of disbelief, numbness and grief as they paid their last respects to the Todd family, a father and seven children who died of carbon monoxide poisoning as they slept.

Sad sad sad
Maybe they will find the thugs that chased that poor African American into the Salisbury river maybe?.

The children should have been buried along side their father in Cambridge and not in Denton where that useless thing that calls herself their mother lives.

it really stinks when it takes two weeks to acquire enough donations to bury seven people.

Two were born on the 9th day, 2 were born on the 14th day and 2 were born on the 15th day of the month.
