Hearse Procession Being Held To Protest Violence
Gloria Driver is one of the funeral directors who organized the procession of hearses.
She says she has buried one too many young people - and consoled too many families.
"Sometimes we have to step out of sanctuary or the chapel because it affects us like that."
One of the most recent for her: A 14 year old boy she prepared for burial.
"And this an innocent bystander. An innocent bystander. And when you stand there and you look at this cold body of a baby, how can you not feel?"
Gloria Driver says everybody asks, what went wrong?
She asks, what's happened to the family structure?
Organizers had hoped for about 25 hearses.
