Friends and families gathered Monday for the funerals of five victims of last week's shooting rampage at Westroads Mall.

Speaking outside services for 67-year-old Janet Jorgensen, friend Ken Jansen said, "I'm just saddened that a wholesome person like her would be taken."

Her brother-in-law Jeff Jorgensen of Atkinson, Nebraska called the shootings "senseless."

Jorgensen was laid to rest at St. James Catholic Church at 90th and Larimore. Her family shared their memories of her with us on Friday.

"Grandma knew that we loved her,” said grandson Ryan Husk. “We knew that she loved us so that makes it easier knowing that she was happy and we were happy with her."

"Life will never be the same without you Dianne, it never will." Diane Trent's sisters and brother can only imagine what the rest of her life would have been like had she not been at work last Wednesday.

"To lose a loved one is always hard, but to lose a loved one in such a violent, senseless way is particularly painful," said the Rev. Harry Buse.

Dianne's friends and family gathered at St. Leo Catholic Church in Omaha to celebrate her life that ended so suddenly.

"It is like a whole city engaged in a huge group hug,” said the Rev. Buse. “Embraced you and all the immediate families and took one common heartbeat of love and support."

Trent's family will always remember her caring attitude. "She was just a gentle, warm, friendly, nice, very ,very considerate, always thinking of other people," said sister Kellie Schlect. Dianne was 53.

"This is a long and slow process, but it is a journey that you as a family, and we as a community will make together," said the Rev. Buse.

"I've been through tragedy before and they're all more or less alike, you hurt and there's nothing you can do about it.” Inez Joy spoke to us last week about the death of her 56-year-old son. Gary Joy's funeral took place Monday afternoon at Kremer Funeral Home in Benson.

Several white hearses lined the circular drive outside St. John's Church at Creighton University before the funeral for 65-year-old John McDonald of Council Bluffs.

Gary Scharf's funeral was held in his hometown of Curtis, Nebraska. Scharf was 48.

Many of the families asked for the opportunity to grieve in private. Channel 6 News respected their wishes.

Funerals are scheduled Tuesday for the other three shooting victims.

Forty-seven-year-old Beverly Flynn will be remembered during a service at 11 a.m. at Glad Tidings Church. Visitation is Monday night at the same location from 5-7 p.m.
