CHICAGO – Teddy bears and flowers adorned a Chicago church Tuesday as pastors prayed for strength at the funeral of a 6-month-old baby girl killed when a gunman fired at a minivan as she sat on her father’s lap.

Hundreds attended the service at a church in the Woodlawn neighborhood where the shooting of Jonylah Watkins occurred.

“All of us need to apologize to her for not doing our best to make the world a better place,” Pastor Marshall Hatch said. “She deserved better.”
