Medford Holds Prayer Vigil for Boston Marathon Victims

On Wednesday the community came together for a prayer vigil at Grace Episcopal Church in Medford. The vigil was held for all victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. Medford’s own Krystle Campbell, 29, was killed. Medford Mayor Michael McGlynn had the following to say about Campbell in his remarks at the vigil:

“Tragically, Medford lost one of our own, Krystle Campbell, a 2001 graduate of Medford High School. Krystle was cheering on the runners when she died instantly during the bombing. She was known for being outgoing, fun loving, and had a tremendous passion and energy for life and lived life to the fullest. Krystle, the young lady with a million dollar smile, was born and grew up in Medford. She will be sorely missed by her dear family and friends.”
