    During a memorial service at a church in White Rock, family and friends tried to cope with the shocking news.

    The girl's Sunday school teacher described her as joyful and said she loved to talk about her brothers and pets.
     
    Teagan's babysitter said through tears after the ceremony that the pair did everything together, including camping and getting their ears pierced. (News 1130, CKNW)
