2:55 p.m.
A birthday party held last week in Indianapolis will serve for some relatives as a final living memory of Tia Coleman's family.
Coleman was the only one in her immediate family who survived after a duck boat capsized Thursday on the choppy waters of Table Rock Lake in southwest Missouri. Her husband and three children were among 17 killed.
Cousin Serica Franklin says she held Arya Coleman at the party, describing the 1-year-old as "all smiles" and a happy child. Her own son ran around with 7-year-old Evan Coleman, who was excited to start second grade in a program for gifted children. Nine-year-old Reece Coleman also drowned.
