More than 100 people gathered at The Crossing United Methodist Church Thursday night to mourn the five people who died in Saturday's flash floods. They prayed rescue teams find 2-year-old Matilda Sheils and 9-month-old Condrad Sheils, who were separated from their family while trying to escape the swells. Attendees gave first responders a standing ovation and lit candles for grieving families.
