He said, "so many of us think of them as killers, but they're our sons and daughters, brothers and sisters."

    We also prayed the prayer for the souls of the faithful departed ("Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord...") and made special mention of them in the Eucharistic Prayer (in other words, the Mass was offered especially for those we remember on Memorial Day).
