Steven Laramee, Jr.'s life was cut tragically short, but his time was rich with memories for those close to him.
Steven Laramee, Jr.'s life was cut tragically short, but his time was rich with memories for those close to him. Friends, family, students and teachers by the hundreds filled the Holy Family Church to overflowing on Thursday morning for Laramee's funeral. Through the tears, the hymns and the music, the Rev. Bryan Parrish urged those who knew Steven, a DHS senior who died from injuries suffered in a car crash last Friday morning, to hold onto their memories. "You all have wonderful and special memories of this young man," said Parrish. "You should cherish those and hold onto them forever." Those memories could come from messages scrawled in yearbooks, from letters and cards, and most importantly, from stories about Steven shared by family and friends, Parrish said. Parrish spoke of the many stories about Steven that were shared during the candlelight vigil held on the town green on Sunday, and he praised the students and friends who have come together to give each other love and support in a tragic time. "So many young people have been so impressive with how they have reached out when words have failed. You are truly a blessing to our community," Parrish said. "I hope you continue to share your memories of Steven and trust that in heaven you will meet him again." Even though Steven no longer walks among his friends and family, Parrish said, those who were close to him will continue to have a strong relationship with him. "It will be different but it will be as strong," he said. "He will always be your son, your brother, and your friend." Parrish offered words of support directly to Laramee's family as well as the family of Spencer Meine. "Our parish and our family will be here for you," he said. "We will do anything to help you in your time of grief." Laramee's brother Eoin, who was injured in the crash, was released from the hospital on Tuesday evening and attended the funeral. Meine underwent surgery on Tuesday, but his condition is improving, according to his father, Roger Meine. "We must continue to love and support each other in this time of suffering," said Parrish. "There is sadness in parting, but we hope to see Steven again and take in his friendship and his love." As she did during the candlelight vigil on the town green, senior Brie Purcell played a moving version of Ave Maria on the violin. Near the end of the service, step-sister Brianna McAuliffe offered some soft spoken and heartfelt reflections on Steven's life. "He always gave the best advice and he was always there for you," she said. At the end of the service, Parrish invited the many students who attended the funeral to take part in a community reception in the parish center, and he offered some final words of healing for those dealing with the grief of their friend's death. "By loving one another, we honor Steven's memory," he said. |
