Colorada Victims Mourned at Funerals in 3 States

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio -- A man who saved his girlfriend's life at the Colorado
movie shooting was remembered for his selfless sacrifice Saturday, while
an aspiring sportscaster was praised for her boundless energy and an Air
Force reservist as a good friend.
.
The girlfriend who Matt McQuinn saved by taking three bullets aimed at her
wept as pastors spoke of the senselessness of the shooting spree at the
suburban Denver theater where 12 people were killed just more than a week
ago.
.
Mourners packed a church in this western Ohio town where McQuinn came
from, while family and friends gathered in San Antonio on the same day to
remember Jessica Ghawi and a private funeral service was held at Buckley
Air Force Base in Aurora, Colo., for Staff Sgt. Jesse Childress.
.
More funerals are set for next week.

Then he talked about McQuinn's greatest sacrifice of all, saving Yowler,
whom Shaffer described as the love of his nephew's life.
.
"In moments of crisis, true character comes out," he said. "His immediate
response was to protect the woman he loved."
.
"Matt's death is a sudden loss, one that has produced many questions in
your minds," Pastor Dan Fiorini said. "I know you're asking in your heart
of hearts, why? Why was Matt there? Why was a gunman allowed to enter that
theater? Why was he able to purchase guns and ammunition so easily? Why
didn't God do something?"
.
Fiorini said he couldn't answer any of those questions.
.
"We can wrestle with the whys of this tragedy for eternity and never come
up with an answer," he said.
.
Shaffer told mourners that the shooting forever changed them.
.
"Our lives will never be the same," he said. "The words Aurora, Cinema 16
shooting, Batman, will never mean the same thing, and we'll be reminded of
Matt every time we hear them."
.
Mourners at Ghawi's funeral also touched briefly on the massacre.
.
"If this coward could have done this with this much hate, imagine what we
can do with this much love," her brother, Jordan Ghawi, said at the
Community Bible Church in San Antonio.
.
But most of the service focused on the life and energy of the aspiring
24-year-old sports journalist.
.
"What we will not do today is focus on how she left us," said Peter Burns,
a friend from Colorado, reading a statement from Ghawi's mother, Sandy.
"Jess was a force to be reckoned with. She was a jolt of lightning. A
whirlwind. A Labrador puppy running clumsily with innocent joy."
.
Burns talked of the funny way Ghawi sneezed, her near-addiction to Nutella
chocolate, how she was sloppy and always lovable.
