NEWTOWN, Conn. (WTNH) — The final funerals were held Saturday for the children killed in the Newtown school shooting.

Everyone called Josephine Gay 'Joey'. She had just turned seven three days before the shooting. Joey was born in Maryland and moved to Newtown four years ago.

She was autistic and could not speak. But her parents say she touched the lives of many and had a wonderful sense of humor. Joey loved the color purple because she grew up in a family of Baltimore Ravens fans.

Her family moved to Newtown from Canada just two months ago. She leaves behind her mom and dad, Jimmy and Nelba.
