Still trying to understand the tragedy, family and friends came out to remember the Santa Barbara family killed when a big rig crashed into their home on Tuesday.

A memorial mass was held on Friday morning at Our Lady of Guadalupe in Santa Barbara. A little more than a hundred people came out to remember Leonel Leon Venegas, Lorena Telles Pacheco and their 8 year old son Jaciel Tellez.

Co-workers of Leonel's who worked at Arigato Sushi in Santa Barbara were there to pay their respects.

The principal of Franklin Elementary, where Jaciel had just started third grade was a pallbearer at the services.

The family will be buried in Oaxaca, Mexico.
