Funeral services are scheduled Friday for a 6-year-old Grove City girl who was killed by a falling tree last week.Authorities say Jala Johnson went outside to share candy with her brothers when a rotted tree about 5 feet in diameter fell across the driveway and onto the corner of a house. She was trapped underneath.
