OAK HARBOR, Wash. — The tears came easily as memories of 17-year-old Janeah and Janesah Goheen poured out from their former teacher and mentor who knew them as 'Nayah and 'Nessah.
"If 'Nessah had woken up," said Christina Federighi, "she would have had been without her harmony when 'Nayah was already giving singing lessons to the angels."
Also remembering the girls was the pastor who officiated at their parents' wedding and faltered when remembering that the Goheens have buried three of their five daughters.
"And whatever happens through these girls' lives even though it was short," said Jim Cargill of Montana, "God needed them."
