About 500 people gathered in Marble Rock, Iowa Saturday to mourn the deaths of three children killed in a house fire eight days earlier.

The fire was reported about 6 a.m. on April 25th and killed 6-year-old Abigail Jo Sutter, 3-year-old Jacob Robert Legg and 20-month-old Jesselyn Marie Legg. Their mother had gone out to pick up her husband from his overnight job.

Authorities believe the fire was caused by faulty wiring behind a wall in the home.

Marble Rock is southeast of Mason City.

What? She left these 3 small children alone in the middle of the night? Neglect on the part of the mother. Sorry for your loss, but why aren't parents' taking responsibility for their children. I wouldn't dream of leaving a 6 y/o alone at home period! And the other two are even younger. OMG! Very sad.
