JPNC Chair: ‘I’m Speechless’

Ben Day, chair of the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Council, reflects on Monday's tragedy.

Benjamin Day, chair of the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Council, emailed comments to Jamaica Plain Patch on the Boston Marathon bombings of Monday afternoon.

Below are his unedited comments:

“Personally, I am speechless. Speechless and grateful for the outpouring of support from around the country. I think it's a time for Bostonians to really be there for each other, be there for the visitors who we've welcomed into the community, and be there for the victims and their families. We'll have time later to make sense of what's happened, but for now community is the most important thing we have to hold onto.”
