Mourn

Hundreds of people streamed into Trinity Church early Friday afternoon to pay their respects to Preston Settles, the 15-year old athlete who died at Boston ...

The buzz of whispers, and the steady chords of the organ, filled the room with a quiet reverence. Turning his head to the closed casket, he said, “We are going to miss you, buddy. The buzz of whispers, and the steady chords of the organ, filled the room with a quiet reverence. But “with Preston, it was like I never left.” He would just power through to the laughter.” As the music faded, mother, father, and sister gripped one another tightly and said a last, tearful goodbye before lowering the lid of the casket. Among the hundreds of mourners at Trinity Church Boston on Friday, each grieved Preston Settles in their own way, holding tight to their memories of a young man who seemed to overflow with light. And teachers couldn’t help but crack a smile over Settles, even at the most unexpected times.
