SPRING, TX -- Funeral arrangements have been set for the six members of a family who were fatally shot in their suburban Houston home last week.



The funerals for Stephen and Katie Stay and four of their children, ranging in age from 4 to 14, will be held Wednesday at a chapel in Houston of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.





The family was a member of the Mormon church. A top church official was expected to speak at the funeral service, according to a church news release.



The couple's 15-year-old daughter, Cassidy Stay, survived by playing dead after she was shot. She was released from a hospital Friday.



Ronald Lee Haskell, accused by authorities in Wednesday's shooting, remains jailed without bond, charged with capital murder.


An official memorial page for the family has been set up on Facebook, and those who want to donate to the family can do so on GoFundMe.com.
