LITTLETON, Colo. -- With the words of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" resonating through the church, 2,000 people on Saturday mourned Columbine High School sweethearts whose bodies were found on Valentine's Day.

Stephanie Hart Grizzell and Nick Kunselman were found dead after a shooting at a Subway sandwich shop where Kunselman worked. A sign outside the shop on Saturday said it was closed until further notice, and two crosses stood nearby in the bright sunlight.About a block away, Pastor Bill Epperhart conducted a service for the two and spoke about the funerals he had conducted for four victims of last spring's Columbine High School massacre.

"I've stood here five times in the last few months," he said. "I can tell you these have been the saddest moments of my life."

Grizzell, 16, and Kunselman, 15, were remembered as "refugees of the sixties," for whom peace and love were goals, even though both were born in the 1980s.

Investigators, meanwhile, released two composite drawings of a suspect. The man was described as a white male, age 16-18. Subway has offered a reward of up to $10,000 in the case.

The Subway shop is several blocks from Columbine High School, where teenage gunmen Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 students, a teacher and themselves on April 20.

"This senseless tragedy has reopened the wounds," Epperhart said.

Columbine survivor Richard Castaldo sat in a wheelchair during Saturday's service. He was paralyzed when he was shot by the high school gunmen. Columbine Principal Frank DeAngelis and some teachers also attended, as did dozens of Columbine students.

Richie Furay, a pastor in Boulder, performed a song he wrote with Neil Young for Buffalo Springfield in 1967, "On The Way Home."

"He was a good man. He was the type of brother who was always there even when he wasn't," said Kunselman's brother, Lyle.

His uncle, Cliff Nordyke, said, "I know he did all he could to protect her until his last breath."

The teens were buried at Mount Lindo Nature Garden in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains after the service.

Outside the Subway shop, Gary Radtke paid his own tribute to the teens. He hung two tiny angels with silver wings and blue capes -- Columbine High School's colors -- on the crosses. His own son, Mark, had escaped the attack in the high school.

"It's been real difficult for the community and the students. I just dropped to pay my respects," he said.
