TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Funerals are scheduled today and Thursday for five members of an Oklahoma church who were killed in a weekend plane crash.

Today's funeral will be for Dr. Kenneth Veteto (VET'-uh-toh), who was a deacon at Park Plaza Church of Christ in Tulsa. He was killed along with the plane's pilot, Dr. Stephen Lester, Lester's wife Dana and the Lesters' two daughters, who were 16 and 13.

The Lesters' funeral will be held at Park Plaza on Thursday.

Their plane crashed into a Tulsa park shortly after taking off on Saturday.

Laura and Christina Lester attended school at Metro Christian Academy, where dozens of classmates and faculty members have already met with grief counselors. The school also plans to hold a memorial service.

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
