BEAUREGARD, Ala. — A candlelight vigil and grief counselling are being planned as students return to school in an Alabama community where nearly two dozen people died in a tornado outbreak. Churches are planning an event that will include candlelight remembrances and prayer on Monday night at Beauregard High School in rural east Alabama. A grief counsellor met with teachers Monday to assist them in helping students as classes resume Tuesday in the Lee County school system that includes Beauregard. Severe weather that included a powerful EF4 tornado devastated parts of the Southeast on March 3, killing 23 people in Beauregard. The dead include 10 members of one extended family and range in age from 6 to 89.
