Southern Baptists offer to pay for the funerals of all 26 victims of the Texas church massacre as group says 'lots of healing needs to take place'

UK Daily Mail . . . " 'In addition to that, there is a company that has come forward that has agreed to donate all their caskets to all of the victims, and we are grateful for that person and their service to our community,' Wilson County District Attorney Audrey Louis told KXAN.

"Sherri Pomeroy, the wife of Pastor Frank Pomeroy, said Tuesday on Facebook said her husband is working with the attorney general to handle the funds that have been raised.

" 'Frank is at the bank now under the direction of the AG's office to try to consolidate the funds that people have started with good intentions,' she wrote. 
" 'For the time being, there has always been online giving on our church website.
'A second account with more options and a greater level of security is being set up now. 

" 'Thank you all for wanting to give so generously, but we are trying to make sure everything is done lawfully and carefully, so your generosity will not be compromised in any way.'
