Remembering Yosemite Victims

More than a thousand mourners in Eureka, Ca. gathered to remember two of their neighbors who touched so many lives here -- Carole and Julie Sund, reports CBS News Correspondent Vince Gonzales.

The Sunds and family friend Silvina Pelosso were abducted and murdered while visiting Yosemite National Park.

Carole Sund's mother, Carole Carrington, said "I came today and read because it's a celebration, and, besides, it's what Carole would've wanted."

Julie's fellow cheerleaders remembered a loving friend -- an ambitious student, who also played the violin, the piano and the guitar.

Carole Sund was known for her charity work and for opening her home to abused children. She and her husband adopted three who needed a family. They were with their father today.

Sund's daughter Gina said, "To have the two most important people in my life taken away from me will be the hardest thing I will ever have to overcome."

In their search for the killers, the FBI is focusing on a small group of friends -- almost all ex-cons -- who know the area where the murders were committed. The possibility that paroled violent criminals committed this crime prompted the family to use the service -- and the presence of Sen. Diane Feinstein -- to call for tougher measures.

Family member Ron Caton said, "The third-strike law in California is well-intentioned, but ladies and gentlemen, I say to you emphatically that three strikes are too many."

One family member said the memorial was meant to help family and friends move on -- but many said they won't be able to heal until those responsible for the murders are caught and punished.
