Menino To Lie In Repose Sunday; Funeral Mass Monday
The people of Boston will get their chance to pay final respects to Mayor Thomas Menino.
Menino is scheduled to lie in state at Faneuil Hall on Sunday. The event that starts at 10 a.m. is open to the public.
A private funeral Mass for family and friends is scheduled for Monday at noon at Most Precious Blood Parish in Hyde Park, Menino's home neighborhood.
Menino died Thursday at age 71.
He served more than 20 years as mayor, the longest in city history.
He was diagnosed with advanced cancer in February 2014, shortly after leaving office, and announced Oct. 23 he was suspending treatment and a book tour so he could spend more time with family and friends.
Menino is survived by wife, Angela, two children and six grandchildren.
Condolence books are available at all Boston public libraries and community centers, according to the city.
