Remembering Carroll Co. couple shot to death at home
The Carroll County Sheriff's Office has not yet identified or arrested anyone in connection to the deaths of James and Kristen Brock. Meanwhile, friends and family of the couple remembered them during a service at Catalyst Church.
CARROLLTON, Ga. - The Carroll County couple who were the victims of a still-unsolved double homicide were laid to rest Saturday.
What we know:
Family and friends of James and Kristen Brock celebrated their lives on Saturday at a service at their church in Carrollton.
It was standing room only inside the Catalyst Church sanctuary.
Mourners danced and listened to some of the Brocks’ favorite worship songs.
"My heart was so full," said Tasha Meza. "Just hearing their favorite songs and seeing their pictures on the TV was very, very emotional."
She was one of Kristen Brock’s closest friends and actually invited the couple to attend Catalyst Church six months ago.
In that short time, the two found a second family within that church.
"They just shared all the love and joy and just the closeness of what they felt when they walked with Jesus," Meza said.

James Brock's older sister, Kim, shared just how much her baby brother meant to her. Full remarks.
"I'm going to miss you so much, Jamie. I've laughed with you. I've cried with you. And sadly, I buried mom with you. I'll never stop loving you," she said.
Mourners also lit candles and prayed together for the couple and the family they left behind.
What you can do:
So far, investigators have no real answers on how the couple was killed for those who are desperate for them.
"We are. We just want this to come to a closure. That way, the family and the friends can move past this. We have peace knowing that they're with Jesus, but we still want answers as to why this happened. We want justice for everybody, because their children didn't deserve this, and they didn't deserve this," Meza said.
"If you know something, please come forward. We all just want this to pass and justice to be served," Meza went on to say.
