The two (pictured) were victims of a Jan. 14 shooting that also claimed the life of Gina Hunt and her 23-month-old son Jordan Hunt. The Hunts' funeral was Saturday.Marion County Sheriff Frank Anderson told mourners Monday that the killers will face the ultimate judgment."If there's any remote possibility that the evil people that did this make it to heaven's gate, they will see a 'No Vacancy' sign," Anderson said.Andrea Yarrell was in an open casket at the front of the church with her infant daughter in her arms.Mourners passed the white casket before the service, with some shedding tears or sobbing."It's a sad situation," said Connie Thomas, a friend of the Yarrell family. "It was tragic."Burial was to follow at Crown Hill Cemetery.
