My six year old seems to have taken this in stride, i.e. not really internalized it. I think there will be more to it when she gets back to school and there are counselors and memorials that she'll have to go to.
Neither she nor her sister seem to talk about "fearing" death, they have just wanted to try to understand it. We have always tried to answer the questions honestly, but the answers frequently lead to "bigger" questions that don't really have answers. She is learning now that some questions are just mysteries.
I guess we'll just see how this thing goes.
