Marcus Clark, 10, Kiani Clark, 8, and Kemaren Clark, 4, were killed on Saturday after the home they were in was set on fire. The children’s grandfather’s ex-girlfriend is accused of setting the blaze.

ARCADIA, Fla. Family and friends paid their respects Friday to three brothers whose lives were cut short.

Marcus Clark, 10, Kiani Clark, 8, and Kemaren Clark, 4, were killed in an early morning fire nearly two weeks ago in their grandfather’s home on South Lee Avenue. The boys’ grandfather survived the blaze.

Marian Evette Williams, 49, is accused of igniting the deadly fire. Williams, who is the ex-girlfriend of the boys’ grandfather, is facing charges of first-degree murder, attempted murder and arson.

But despite this tragedy, the family is thankful for the outpour of support from the community.

“It was just that overwhelming support that made you feel like, ‘Thank you,'” said Emma Clark, the boys’ grandmother.

Funeral services will be taking place Saturday in the DeSoto High School gym at 1 p.m.
