Jun Lin: Montreal Church

Public Memorial Dept: MONTREAL - The parents of Jun Lin took part in an emotional public memorial on Saturday as Montreal's Chinese community gathered to remember the student two months after he was brutally killed, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "When a child dies, a parent's heart dies too," Du said in Mandarin, and an interpreter translated into French. "He is gone. He was taken so fast." The mother of Jun Lin, Zhi Gui Du cries uncontrollably as she is comforted by a friend right as she speaks about her son during a public memorial for Lin in Montreal Saturday, July 21, 2012.
