The crowd of elderly people and teen-agers, parents and their young children, overflowed a plaza in front of the post office. “This town is a beautiful town,” Irena Lomaga-Carey, daughter of victim George Lomaga, told the crowd of about 5,000. “The outpouring of sympathy and support we got is tremendous.”
