KENOSHA — Friends and family gathered in Kenosha to remember three children who died in an apartment fire on Thanksgiving night while staying with their father.

Dozens of people came to honor Rylee, Alena, and Connor Kannin, bringing stuffed animals, flowers, and candles to create a growing memorial outside the apartment where the children died. The vigil was filled with hugs, tears, and shared memories as the community struggled to process the tragic loss.

"They were taken too soon from us, and this was not supposed to happen to anybody," said Chelsea Meeks, who organized the vigil and was a friend of the family. "No parent is supposed to still be alive when their child is not on this earth, and I strongly believe that."
