Good
afternoon
my
name
is
pat
cahill
hoban.
I
am
a
member
of
the
mass
911
fund
family
advisory
committee.
My
brother,
john
fred,
cahill's
name,
is
on
this
beautiful
memorial
and
it
is
my
privilege
to
have
the
honorable
michelle
honorable
michelle
wu
mayor
of
boston,
to
provide
preside
over
this
wreath-laying
ceremony.
B
We
have
a
survivor
tree
part
of
the
garden
of
remembrance.
It
was
grown
from
a
cutting
from
the
survivor
tree
at
ground
zero
and
it
was
dedicated
in
may
of
2014
and
that
that
seedling
is
right
behind
my
left
over
there
and
there's
a
plaque
saying
about
it
being
from
the
garden
of
the
survivor
tree
from
ground
zero
to
start
the
ceremony.
I
am
now
pleased
to
invite
father
sean
connor,
the
boston
police
chart
chaplain
to
offer
a
prayer.
C
Before
we
pray
earlier
this
morning
with
the
kids
at
church,
they
said
it's
going
to
rain
today,
and
I
said
yes,
it
is-
and
I
said
sometimes
when
we're
sad-
and
we
remember
it-
brings
tears
today-
there
are
tears
coming
from
heaven
as
a
sign
for
us.
So
let
us
pray
loving
god.
We
come
before
you
this
day
to
remember,
to
pray,
to
mourn
and
to
seek
your
healing.
C
C
C
C
We
pray
for
those
who
serve
and
protect
us
in
public
office
and
pray
for
our
first
responders,
our
nation's
military,
especially
those
deployed
in
the
ham
way.
We
pray
that
we
would
be
united
in
peace
as
one
family.
Mindful
of
the
way
each
of
you
pray,
I
ask
the
lord
to
bless.
You,
father
son
and
holy
spirit,
amen.
C

E
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
coming
today
for
all
the
family,
members,
friends,
relatives
and
everyone
else.
This
is
a
sad
but
joyful
day
that
we
still
have
so
many
of
us
remembering
and
please
promise
me
you
will
never
ever
forget
and
always
remember
god
bless
you
all
and
I'm
proud
and
honored
to
have
my
niece
with
me
today
and
to
present
the
wreath
with
our
new
mayor
me
and
