Hundreds say goodbye to slain NJ girl

	Hundreds say goodbye to slain NJ girl Hundreds say goodbye to slain NJ girl Hundreds of mourners who packed a church Saturday to say goodbye to a 12-year-old who police say was killed by two teenage brothers were urged to do good works in her memory and dwell not so much on why she died so young but how she lived. People lined up from morning until afternoon for Autumn Pasquale's wake at Our Lady of Lourdes Church. Some wore buttons bearing the girl's photo and T-shirts reading: "Autumn Pasquale forever in our hearts." They filed by photo collages of Autumn riding a roller coaster, posing with Piglet, smiling with friends and family and playing soccer. "Our Angel" was written across one. Autumn was found dead in a recycling bin last week. The two brothers have been arrested in her slaying. Autumn was a girl who was wise beyond her years, who listened to other people and cared about others, he said. She wanted to learn sign language so she could communicate with a man she knew who could sign but not speak, he added. "So often when someone dies, especially at this age, we're haunted by the question why did she die?" Mannion said. "We struggle with it. We're hurt by it. We're broken by it. But I hope in the midst of that grieving, we can ask ourselves why did she live?"	From: hourlyupdates Views: 1 0 ratings
