Hundreds of people filled the Bayou La Batre Community Center to pay their last respects to Hannah, Lindsey, and Danny Luong and their older brother Ryan Phan. Representatives from the Mobile County Sheriff's Office, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, as well as pastors from area churches offered words of comfort and encouragement to the family. Some of those in attendance didn't know the family personally, but just wanted to show their support. "It's a very heartbreaking thing. We just can't even imagine anything like that in our own community, this small area, to even happen like that, but my prayers and thoughts are with this family," said Marilyn Putman. "The lord understands more than we understand so there ain't too much comfort. Prayer is more than anything that mends up a broken heart..only prayer," said Floyd Nelson of Grand Bay. Lam Luong is accused of throwing the four children from the bridge. He's in Mobile Metro Jail. His next court appearance is March 5th.

My heart goes out for the mother and other family members.
the only other thing i can say is that the so called uncle and
brother-in-law to these babies. He must of forgotten about the
children he has brought into the world. never see’s them or supports them. But these babies well always be taking care of but
not because of him are his family.
The Lord alway’s makes away. So before he speakes for them he needs to look at his self.

I was highly disappointed that WKRG did not have it live on TV instead of internet. Channel 15 had it on their station. I thought sure as much as WKRG had been broadcasting the updates they would have had it. I was disappointed.

My deepest sympathies will always be with you: Ryan, Hannah, Lindsey and Danny.

4-Angels Family, Friends, Acquaintances: Thank you for uniting.

I can’t say that any of us who have taken a personal and emotional interest in this tragedy will ever have complete closure..I do think that JUSTICE to the person(s) who hurt these children will certainly help in the healing process.

Ryan, Hannah,Lindsey, & Danny,
I’m sure you are walking those streets of gold, then resting in the arms of your Heavenly Father. You will never be forgotten. I will see you children in Heaven one day.

I would have like to see more coverage of the service on the video since I was unable to attend due to to other commitments and misssed the live coverage on the web; however what covered by Kesshia was better than nothing. Could you please post the service in it entirely on thje web?

My family and I attended the services held for the babies. It was a heartwrenching experience. There was a peacefulness is knowing they will be laid to rest together. There were so many people there whom had never met the family yet wanted to pay their repects. The community really came together. I was very happy to see how the related businesses stepped forward to help the family with the needs and expenses of laying the children to rest. My heart goes out to their mother and all the family and friends that will miss them.

We will never forget you, Ryan, Hannah, Lindsey, and Danny!!
