MIDDLETOWN -- Francie Billotti-Wood should have been in church today, volunteering in the nursery at the Holy Family Catholic Community parish, her priest said.
Instead, she and her slain family were a focal point of prayers and remembrances at a Mass at the church in northwest Maryland.
Rev. Kevin Farmer opened the 9 a.m. service today by telling more than 400 somber parishioners that he had "no words to offer" to describe the "unspeakable act" that Billotti-Wood, 33, and her three young children suffered at the hands of their husband and father, Christopher A. Wood, 34, who shot them and then killed himself.
