The three died in a house fire on the 8000 block of Pearsall road Monday afternoon. The fire started after 2:00 pm, and spread to four neighboring homes due to intense winds.

Hundreds of family and friends gathered at burned out home to remember the young family Tuesday night. "We're just all trying to hold on to each other, " said Oralia Longoria, Ordonez' aunt.

Longoria told News 4 mom Roxanne and her boys were all found together. "They are telling us that they found her cradling her babies, trying to protect them, " added Longoria.

The family says they're still waiting to find out exactly what started the deadly fire. "There's just a lot of unanswered questions that we want answers to, " Longoria went on to say.

A spokesperson for Bexar County told News 4 the fire remains under investigation, and an exact cause has not been determined.
