Campbell Family: Thankful For Prayers, Support

On Thursday afternoon, the family of Krystle Campbell released a statement that was published on Boston.com, saying their daughter's "presence will be missed more deeply than words can express."

Campbell was killed Monday in the bombing attacks on the Boston Marathon. Campbell, 29, was a 2001 Medford High School graduate, a restaurant manager and was living in Arlington most recently.

In the statement on Boston.com, the family called Campbell "an incredible and loving sister, daughter, niece, granddaughter and friend."

The family said they are "so grateful for the efforts of the first responders, doctors, nurses and the many other individuals" who aided Campbell and the others killed or injured in the attacks, which the family called "senseless."

The family is also "thankful for the outpouring of prayers, love, and support" that has come from not just the local community but across the nation and the world.

In concluding their statement, the family asked they "be allowed to grieve privately."
