The makeshift memorial expanded Thursday around noon when a family of seven parked their minivan in front of the house, stepped into a snapping wind and gently added their own tokens of grief and respect.
Timothy Goforth and Brittany Lorimer, who have five children and a baby on the way, visited the house in the wake of a mass shooting early Tuesday in which a man and five children were killed.
