PHILADELPHIA - Mourners gathered Monday for funeral services for nine children and three adults who died in a Philadelphia fire five days into the new year, the deadliest blaze in the city in more than a century.A funeral procession on the rain-soaked streets of the city Monday morning was followed by services at Temple University's Liacouras Center, to which members of the community were invited and asked to wear white.Three sisters — Rosalee McDonald, 33, Virginia Thomas, 31, and Quinsha White, 18 — and nine of their children died in the blaze, according to family members.

The city last week identified the other victims as Quintien Tate-McDonald, 16, Destiny McDonald, 15,  Dekwan Robinson, 8, J’Kwan Robinson, 5, Taniesha Robinson, 3, Tiffany Robinson, 2, Shaniece Wayne, 10, Natasha Wayne, 8, and Janiyah Roberts, 3.

Those in attendance at the three-hour service listened to Bible readings, official proclamations and music. Relatives spoke about their loss and their memories of their loved ones from two microphones behind tables bearing caskets amid white flowers and large pictures of the victims.Family and members of the community remembered the 12 lives lost in this month's fire in Fairmount. "None of us know what to do with a funeral with 12 people," said the Reverend Dr.

Alyn Waller of the Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church. "We're in a space of grief and pain we wish on no one else."One speaker, an aunt of the children, tearfully said she believed there was "a family reunion in heaven.""I believe they're with their dad.
