KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) - More than a week after three young children died in a Kalamazoo apartment fire, investigators are still seeking a cause. Pastors from the North Side Ministerial Alliance met Tuesday to discuss ways to deal with such tragedies.

They also urged patience as investigators continue to look into the blaze that killed fraternal 3-year-old twins Taniyah and Tevin Williams and their 1-year-old sister, Tyonna Henderson in the Feb. 18 fire at Interfaith Apartments in Kalamazoo.

The pastors also urged the media to continue investigating.

Jonetta Woods, the children's mother, told police she left the kids with her boyfriend, Fred Glespie, at the time of the fire. He denies that claim.
