MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) -- Members of a small Brazilian church outside Atlanta are trying to find ways to pay for bringing the bodies of loved ones back to Georgia and then, it is hoped, on to their native country to bury them.
The congregation is mourning the death of a pastor, his wife, their daughter and two others in a horrific Florida interstate pileup that killed 11 people.
Another pastor at the church, Bobby Curtis, tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that some church members are worried about immigration issues surrounding a survivor of the crash, 15-year-old Lidiane Carmo, because she's not in the U.S. legally.
Pastor Jose Carmo Jr.; his wife, Adrianna; and their daughter, Leticia, died in the Sunday crash. Also killed were Jose Carmo's brother, Edson, and his brother's girlfriend, Rose.
