Mission Hill Mourns

Todd Heisler

The New York Times

'Mission Hill Mourns' Along Tremont Street in Boston's Mission Hill neighborhood, residents solemnly prepared for the funeral services for Senator Edward Kennedy, which would be held at the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The church had a special meaning for the late senator-when his daughter was fighting cancer, he prayed there daily as she was being treated nearby. Kennedy's funeral cortege makes its way down a rainy Tremont Street toward the Basilica where services were held.
