SURFSIDE, Fla.—The bodies of two young sisters pulled from the rubble of a Florida condo building—so tiny that the 4 and 10-year-olds were placed in the same casket—were buried alongside their parents Tuesday, their white coffin draped with innocent pink and purple ribbons.

Lucia Guara, “Lulu bear,” loved watching “Jeopardy” with her dad, dancing and doing yoga with her mother. Her baby sister, Emma, was the princess of the family, a natural artist, who enjoyed her dad’s piggyback rides and cuddling with her mom, family member Digna Rodriguez said.
