Thousands paid their final respects and remembered the five victims of last week's plane crash in Glenpool. Reverend Bill Wiseman, Junior, Doctor Rhonda Lunn, and her three teenage children died when their small plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Riverside airport. Friends and family say each victim had so much more living to do.

Hundreds of loved one's gathered at St. John's to remember Reverend Bill Wiseman, Junior. Friends of Wiseman say he touched many lives as a state representative and as a preacher.

"He was not yet preaching the gospel, except in the way St. Francis talked about. St. Francis said you should preach the gospel every day, and if necessary, use words," said Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson.

In downtown Tulsa, more than 1,500 friends packed Trinity Episcopal to honor the Lunn family. Rhonda Lunn was a cook, a singer, a respected doctor, but friends say she was most proud of being a mother.

"Say a prayer for Michael, Adrienne, Kathryn, and Rhonda. We will all miss them so much," said the children's father, Bill Lunn.

Dozens of Cascia Hall students, still in uniform, said goodbye to three of their classmates: Adrienne, Michael, and Kathryn.

"They went directly to God, to his bosom, and that is where they are now and they are together where they would want to be," said family friend, Dr. Melanie Blackstock.

A family friend read a letter written by Michael to his mother. The words will hopefully help family members during difficult times.

"We've both been through easy and hard times, let us especially get through these hard times," added Dr. Melanie Blackstock.

A memorial service for the Lunn children is scheduled for Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. at Cascia Hall's chapel.
