Prayer service held to remember those lost in Newtown shooting
BARRINGTON – A table with 28 candles was placed in the middle of the Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital chapel Wednesday, wedged between two yellow poinsettia flower pots.
The candles represented the 20 children and six adults who were killed Friday when 20-year-old Adam Lanza opened fire on an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. Also included in the candles were ones for Lanza and his mother, whom he shot to death earlier in the day in the home they shared.
The yellow poinsettias stood for hope.
