Funeral Held for Oklahoma Beheading Victim
ABC News ^ | October 3, 2014 | By KEN MILLER

Hundreds of friends and family members of a woman beheaded during an attack at the food processing plant where she worked gathered Friday at an Oklahoma church for a funeral service that was closed to the public.

Colleen Hufford, 54, died Sept. 25. Prosecutors said she was targeted by a co-worker who had been disciplined that morning for another woman's complaint.

Hufford's family walked single-file into the Southgate Baptist Church Friday afternoon after gathering in a fellowship hall with the woman's friends and co-workers. At the end of the 45-minute service, mourners wiped tears away as they exited the church; Hufford's husband greeted many, hugging some.

A family spokesman identified the woman's husband and daughter, who held hands on their way into the church, but he kept reporters away from the building. About 450 people attended, said Tony Vann, the spokesman.

Apart from a statement released Wednesday, the family hasn't spoken publicly about Hufford's death.

"Losing our mom, wife and grandmother has been one of the most difficult challenges any of us have faced in our lives," the statement said. "For her life to have been taken in such a tragic act of violence adds a depth of grief we are trying to comprehend."

Islam claims a victim; Christ claims another victory.

How is that fair?

It is my sincere hope that tis family can keep hold of their faith as their beloved is laid to rest. As for the greater Oklahoma community, it's past time to wake up. For those interested in the Oklahoma terror/beheading connection this is interesting.

I appreciate the information and please know some of us are awake and are aware of the info. I think this terrorist attack will only wake more people up. If the Muzzies want a war in Oklahoma....well, hillbillies can do that too!
