Hundreds at NYC funeral for 3 girls in Conn. fire

NEW YORK - January 5, 2012

The program for Thursday's funeral at a church in Manhattan featured a joyous, laughing photo of 9-year-old Lily Badger and her 7-year-old sisters, Sarah and Grace.

The readings included a well-known Bible passage: "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not."

Authorities say a bag of discarded fireplace embers started the blaze.
