My children and I went just as normal and I don't think their Dad was officially mentioned in any prayers either that day. People did individually offer condolences but I don't remember the pre planned program being changed at all. I could be wrong. Sometimes I am. It just seemed the best thing to do to continue as normal. I think I even taught my class. I remember when one of our elderly gentlemen actually died at church and of course that affected things and the rest of the meetings were shortened for that day because everyone was in a daze really.
I think the difference is that this wasn't the sad ending to an illness, they were woken and told their Mother was dead after an accident, hours later they were before the world's press.
