Firefighter Timothy Haskell

The overwhelming grief dealt to just one family prompted the Rev. Steven Camp of St. William the Abbot Church in Seaford, L.I., to address a question he's been asked dozens of times since the tragedy:

"Where is God?"

"God did not will this . . . It is the complete absence of the presence of God that caused these acts to happen, and we are left to bear the scars," Camp said.

Haskell's other firefighter brother, Kenneth, said the family holds out hope for finding their-still missing brother.

"I'm sure we'll find Tommy. But I'm not concerned, because I know Timmy's sitting by his side right now," he said.
