Nearly 70 people of the town of 2,000 gathered at a balloon release and vigil to mourn the loss of three children who were killed last week.
ITALY – Dark, gray clouds plunged a torrent of rain. Flashes of lightning streaked the sky and thunder roared in the distance as a crowd gathered Thursday night in the Ellis County town of Italy,
Among the attendees was Stafford Elementary Principal Lance Bray. Before the vigil began, he opened the school’s doors to community members seeking refuge from the rain. Blue was Legend’s favorite color and Spiderman was his favorite superhero, LaTanya Reese, who identified herself as Legend’s grandmother, told. At 6-years-old, Legend was a leader to his siblings, a smart kid who had many dreams of who he wanted to be, Reese said.For one, Legend wanted to be a professional boxer. His love for basketball was also so strong that he told his family he dreamed of buying the Los Angeles Lakers.
Many people who attended the vigil did not know the children’s family but wondered: what if it was their own?Related:Joshua Perkins, a bishop of Cornerstone Unity Church in Milford, stood under a makeshift tarp near the home. He read verses from the Bible and shared a few words. Nearly half the crowd stood near the home, holding umbrellas over their heads; children wore ponchos while rain continued pouring.
Bray, the Stafford principal, also shared words of his own. He spoke about the role of an educator – a job to serve and love students – and mold them and teach them life lessons.
