Mother and seven children mourn in rural Ontario fire
About 1,000 mourners filled a church in St. Catharines Ontario for a funeral service honoring Monika Woerlen 39 and her seven children ages 19 months to 11 years who died in a century-old rural home fire. Their coffins and flowers lined the podium as a seven-minute memorial video played. The blaze left firefighters in tears as Monika’s husband Marc was away on business when the tragedy occurred last Monday.
