Obituaries say the children – who were part of a blended family – were known for their mischievous smiles, senses of humour and love of the outdoors.

They also include a note from the family thanking the first responders, funeral homes and hospital staff who helped in the aftermath of the tragedy.

The four-month-old baby boy was the son of Emma Kennedy and Phillip Prouty, who both managed to get out of the house.

More than 600 people attended a memorial service yesterday for Mason Grant, a seven-year-old boy who was remembered as “an old, wise soul.”
