Mother: 'This Doesn't Make Any Sense'

Patty Campbell, the mother of Krystle Campbell, delivered a brief, emotional statement Tuesday evening on her daughter, who was killed in Monday's bombing at the Boston Marathon.

"We are heartbroken at the death of our daughter, Krystle Marie," Patty Campbell said from the porch of the family's home at 25 Park St. in Medford. "She was a wonderful person, everybody who knew her loved her."

Patty Campbell spoke to dozens of media members and was joined on her porch with her son, Billy, and brother, John Reilly.

"We couldn't have asked for a better daughter," Patty Campbell said. "She was such a hard worker in everything she did...This doesn't make any sense."

After concluding her remarks, a reporter asked Campbell to further describe what kind of daughter Krystle was.

"She was the best," Campbell said as she was brought back into the home.

Later, Campbell's full statement was read again by family spokesman Brian Kenny.

A passer-by had earlier placed a rose on the steps leading up to the porch of the Campbell home.
