Neosho says goodbye to 16-month-old tornado victim

Neosho said goodbye to one of the youngest tornado victims today:

Sixteen-month-old Skyular Logsdon, a victim of Joplin's May 22 tornado, was laid to rest today during a funeral service in Neosho, Mo.


Skyular's parents, Corderro Logsdon and Carol Jo Tate, were severely injured in the storm. They were able to attend today's service.

The search for Skyular attracted widespread attention in the first days after the disaster. He had been last seen in his mother's arms when the tornado hit.
