As young girls played soccer in the sun at a River Falls, Wis., park, more than 200 people gathered in the shade to mourn and remember three sisters found dead in their home one day earlier.
The vigil Wednesday night, July 11, included three minutes of silence, one for each of the Schaffhausen sisters -- Amara, 11; Sophia, 8; and Cecilia, 5.
Members of Amara's traveling soccer team wore their white jerseys and painted her No. 36 in blue and yellow on their left cheeks. Most of the girls played together for five years; some wept during the vigil.
