"My grandchildren have always lifted me up until this point, and I don't know what to do anymore," said Chang's father, through an interpreter. "I'm heart stricken, and I hurt so much that I do not know what to say to the community,"

The drownings happened after the children's father committed suicide in a Maplewood trailer park earlier that same day.

The memorial took place at the spot where the children's shoes were discovered, hours before the bodies were recovered.
