TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - The family of missing Utah woman Susan
Powell is thanking police, social workers, teachers and everyone who cared about her two sons - nearly a week after their father killed them in a gas-fueled blaze.

The boys' grandfather Chuck Cox thanked people of all faiths who had prayed for them, saying "it helps us to know that there are good people in the world."

Hundreds of people attended Saturday's public funeral for 7-year-old Charlie and 5-year-old Braden at Life Center Church in Tacoma, Wash.

They were killed in a fire set by their father, Josh Powell, when they went to visit him Sunday at his home in Graham.

Powell also died. He was a person of interest in the disappearance of his wife two years ago.

When a parent is suspected of murder why on earth do they get at home visitation with children?? If you suspect someone of murder then you suspect they are capable of murder so you throw little children in the mix?? I'm sorry but that is just STUPID!!! My sister was caught on fire by a parent and CSD left us in the home and I was shot 1 year later at age 2 with a 7mm magnum! That was 1973, how long till authorities learn!!?!
