Service location for 12-year-old Greg Hammond changed

CLEVELAND - Following an overwhelming outpouring of community support the family of 12-year-old Greg Hammond has changed the location for Monday's funeral service for the youth killed in an accident at his home on September 20. The change was made to allow more people to attend the service.

The service is now planned for the First Baptist Church in Cleveland at 2:00.

The family accepted the community as they stopped by Barrett Funeral Home in Cleveland Sunday afternoon to pay their respects and try to comfort grieving family members. The boy died Friday at Scottish Rites Children's Hospital.

The family began accepting visitors at 1:00 and by 6:00, over 1,400 had made their way to the family and passed by the casket of the young boy. Many more were waiting in line.
