"My son had preached recently at his church and I had been to the church several time before with him."
"We never would've thought it would be someone like this who'd do something like that. Especially in front of two small children. Children that he knew," said Duke Lewis, Mike's father.
Barbara Lewis said Mike Hockensmith worked for Keith before taking over the business where the shootings happened.
Lewis said Keith even introduced himself to her and the rest of the family at the funeral.
"It's really a shock that he would come to the funeral and introduce himself to me and tell me how much they were loved and him knowing what he'd done," Lewis said.
While Angela's mother, Charlne Worley feels blessed for an arrest in the case, she's not sure she considers it closure.
"Nothing will ever be closed because he took the life of my only child and my son-in-law, who was like a son to me," Worley

Making the family even angrier, a post on Facebook by the murder suspect around the time of the killings: "No sleep at all. I am just in shock right now over this loss of three great people. We never know what is coming ..."
"I'd like for this man to know that we are praying for his salvation. He's gotta face God. Not me,"

"Mr. Keith, I hope you turn your life over to God before it's too late because when you bow your knees to Jesus, you can't lie to him, 'cause he knows the truth. He knows it all," said Duke Lewis.
Family members of the Hockensmiths have planned a candlelight vigil to honor their lives.
