More than 1,000 people gathered in a high school gym Thursday night in Cottonwood to remember the victims of Tuesday's fatal school bus accident.

They heard music, Bible passages and speakers -- school officials and politicians, students and ministers.

Among those who spoke were Gov. Tim Pawlenty, and U.S. Sens. Norm Coleman and Amy Klobuchar. Listen to some excerpts.
