Evelyn's was the first funeral held for the victims of Monday's mass shooting at The Covenant School, where authorities say a 28-year-old former student killed six people before being shot and killed by police.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Family and friends of Evelyn Dieckhaus, one of three children who were killed in a school shooting in Nashville this week, remembered her Friday as a"shining light" and said farewell to a girl who loved art, music, animals and snuggling with her older sister on the couch.
Evelyn's was the first funeral held for the victims of Monday's mass shooting at The Covenant School, where authorities say a 28-year-old former student killed six people before being shot and killed by police. With the pinkish-purple flowers of redbud trees blooming and mourners donning pastel colors, it looked as much like an Easter service as a funeral for a 9-year-old girl who brought joy and comfort to her loved ones.
Stauffer, the minister, said he has been trying to impress upon Evelyn's family, whom he described as"incredible people," that they're not going through this alone.
