COLONIA LEBARON, Mexico - Members of a breakaway Mormon community tucked in the hills of northern Mexico buried the last of their dead on Saturday after a devastating massacre, and some headed for safer ground in the United States.
“She brought light wherever she went,” said Grecia Yuvel LeBaron, a friend of Langford’s. “We grew up together and thought that we would be friends forever.” “Of course they’re going to go where the parents are,” said LeBaron. “Poor Howard, what else can he do?”“He is going there to work, don’t confuse someone seeking their livelihood with fleeing,” said LeBaron. “His heart, his soul remains in La Mora.”But Guadalupe Retana, who lives in a town outside La Mora and worked with the Langford family for many years, said she is worried about her future after the attacks.
Tucked away in the fertile valleys of the Sierra Madre mountains a few hours drive south from the U.S. border, the communities stem from the late 1800s, when upheaval over polygamy in the Utah-based church led to their founding.
