MOUNT VERNON, Wash. - A Skagit County community begins the healing process - nearly a week after a shooting rampage that killed six people.

Construction worker Greg Gillum was laid to rest on Sunday at an intimate gathering of less than 100 of Greg Gillum's closest friends and family.

His was the second of six funerals planned for this week.

The mourners came to focus on his 38 years - not the tragedy that ended his life.

"He had a wonderful, wonderful soul," said his sister, Diane Winblad. "I don't think there was anybody who crossed his path that didn't like him."

Her tears have barely stopped in the five days after a shooter killed her brother - the emotions are too raw.

"He was an amazing brother - amazing person," she remembers.

The 38-year-old construction worker was working on a home in the small town of Alger on Tuesday when a man walked in and shot him and co-worker David Radcliffe.

Isaac Zamora, 28, was later arrested and charged with all six killings and four other shootings that injured their victims.

Gillum's older brother Brian has been searching nearly a week for words to describe his pain.

"I don't have any anger right now because I have to deal with my brother's loss," he said.

He describes his brother as a "good soldier" who always put his daughter Megan and son Ryan first.

Gillum moved from California to Mount Vernon two years ago, but kept his kids close to his heart. He took pride in construction work and loved to golf.

His twin brother Jeff says, "He was always happy for what he had."

Gillum's son, 15-year-old Ryan, now wears the gold chain his father cherished while Father Gordon Winblad comforts close friends through heartache.

"It really hurts. The thoughts are there, the pain is there, and it's constant," he says.

With that pain comes questions about suspect Isaac Zamora and his history of mental illness.

"Why can't he be treated? Why can't he be medicated? Why can't he be supervised? Why can't he be confined when he's ill?" asks Winblad.

Aamora had a criminal history that dated back 12 years, but he was released from jail a month ago without a mental health evaluation.

At a Friday court hearing, he told the judge, "I kill for God. I listen to God."

Zamora is being held on $5 million bail in the wake of Tuesday's rampage.

The attacks began near Zamora's mother's home near the tiny town of Alger, 70 miles north of Seattle, and continued on Interstate 5. After a high-speed police pursuit, Zamora surrendered at a sheriff's office in Mount Vernon, about 20 miles south of Alger.

Among the dead was Skagit County Deputy Sheriff Anne Jackson, who had gone to check on Zamora after his mother called authorities.
