At the church on Friday, protective scaffolding was placed around the historic building. A crew of construction workers appeared to be sealing the bricks and working to secure the structure.



"We are mourning and send our condolences to the family," said the Rev. David Neff, the interim pastor of the church.



The church will have services as usual on Sunday, he said, but he would not talk about the incident or the work being done to the building.



"We send our heartfelt sympathy and continual prayers for her family and friends," Neff said in a written statement.
