HOUSTON (June 27) - The father of five children allegedly drowned in the bathtub by their mother said goodbye to them in a hushed church service Wednesday, weeping as he reached into their five white caskets to tuck a blanket beside each little body.

''I'm sorry I didn't get to see you grow up,'' Russell Yates told Mary, at 6 months the youngest of his lost children.

The caskets were arrayed in an arc, each with a ribbon bearing a child's name. After a 75-minute service, the caskets were wheeled slowly from the church and taken to a nearby cemetery, where Yates cried as he touched each one.

The children's mother, Andrea Yates, 36, remained in jail, charged with capital murder and under a 24-hour suicide watch.

Police called to the Yates' suburban Houston home June 20 found the bodies of the four youngest children still wet under a sheet on a bed. The eldest, 7-year-old Noah, was found in the tub.

Yates said his wife of eight years had been suffering from postpartum depression.

The 36-year-old NASA computer specialist struggled at times to describe his children to some 300 people at the Clear Lake Church of Christ. He instead tried to provide a glimpse of each in eulogies that he said were ''the hardest thing I've ever had to do.''

Wearing a microphone, he moved around the church, his words at times bringing tears and laughter.

Mary, dressed in a pink sleeper, was flanked by her 3-year-old brother Paul and 2-year-old Luke. Noah wore a multicolored sweater emblazoned with a truck, and John, 5, an orange and black sweater.

Noah, Yates said, was intelligent, independent and a lover of bugs; John, all rough-and-tumble with a great smile; Paul, the most well-behaved; Luke, the troublemaker, the one most likely to challenge boundaries; and Mary, the ''princess'' of the family.

''I was sitting at the dinner table the other night telling stories and that's how I would like to tell you,'' Yates said. ''I tell you every minute I had I was with them. It wasn't like they were just some generic children that happened to be mine. They were my friends.''

He went to each casket, pausing before it as a picture of the child appeared on a projection screen behind and above him.

''That's him,'' Yates said, pointing to the image of Noah as a tear fell from his eye.

Noah once caught a caterpillar that became a butterfly when the family was on a road trip, he recalled. They stopped on the side of the road and let the butterfly go shortly after it emerged from the cocoon. Yates gazed down at Noah: ''That is kind of how I look at this. We've set you free.''

When he was talking about Mary, he said he couldn't believe his wife had given birth to a girl.

''I thought boys were all we'd ever have,'' she said. ''I told her I wanted a basketball team first, then we'd talk about girls.''

But over the last six months, Yates said, Mary became his little princess. ''Given this tragedy, I am so glad I had a girl,'' he said.

Yates said nothing else about his wife. After his remarks, he slipped blankets into each casket.

Posters filled with pictures of the children lined a table in a church hallway. One showed a smiling Noah in the bathtub with wet hair sticking up.

''I don't think there are words in any language that can describe what has happened,'' said the minister, Byron Fike. ''Our hearts are filled with questions, but there are not many answers.''

Yates said his children were with God. ''He will take care of them,'' he said.<<<<

Across the Gulf of Mexico, near Cape Canveral Space Center. Another woman killed her children on the same day! This other incident was not publicized by the media. This was also the summer soltice and the solar eclipse seen in Africa. Any connection? I think so.

This woman did not have postpartum depression. She tried to commit suicide two years ago, long before the birth of her last child. She appears and acts as a programmed sex-slave. She performed a ritual sacrifice on the summer solstice. Her husband was interviewed on television saying that he still loves her and that she, the woman he loves, did not kill his children. It was another "persona" within her. That suggests compartmentalization of her personality which is the result of programming and abuse. The children’s names were Luke, Paul, John, Mary, and Noah! Hello, out there! Wake up world, before your kids are next! June 22, 2001<<<<<
Yes Delphi it sounds like occult to me, and like I have said in the past,, this whole NWO biz is based on Satanic ritual magic.The name coincidence is just TOO WEIRD! Names of Saints,,, and on the summer solstice. "They" Really must think it's all coming together as planned those souless murdering bastards.
Well I've got news for them,,,,The pre-existing God of All That Is, is going to wipe them out. I just remembered something from my past involvement in the occult, and being tricked and used by illuminati wannabes.I know ,, that tho they might be trying to manipulate our existance,,, in some way, whatever they do,there will be an opposite effect.Sometimes things just work out to the benefit of the victim, instead of the perpetrators..and alot of it has to do with raising the awareness for the victims.The Creator works in mysterious ways, and that wheel of karma, is going to mow them down.Just know, it will FOR SURE all come back at them.
I will have to go to Yahoo Delpi,, to check that out,, tho I don't like Yahoo for some reason.My instincts tell me to avoid it. I am sick of trying to delete the parasitic "pager" that Yahoo insists on putting in my puter,when I never even asked for it.Also,,, That "Real Player" trys to initialise itself, when I am not even on line. Whats up with that? Oh,, yes,,, thats right, it has to do with the sounds,, and the microphone of the computer. Yep, gotta have that Microphone on at all times,,, wouldn't want to "miss something", now would "they".
