St. John Bosco Church was bedecked Monday
morning in holiday splendour.
Crimson poinsettias, garlands with red bows,
a Christmas tree and a giant creche added an ironic warmth to an otherwise
sombre moment.
In the pews, more than 200 sat clad in Sunday
best. There were no smiles. No holiday joy.
Instead, people looked straight ahead, their
faces frozen as they used crumpled tissues to dab tears from their eyes.
Family and friends gathered at the church
to pay last respects to Andrew Moffitt, the 23-year-old son of Paulette
and Rodney Moffitt of Brockville, who was stabbed to death two days before
Christmas while trying to stop a fight in an Ottawa bar. more.
