"When will You comfort me, Lord."   ...   Psalm 119:82
.

Members of a college basketball team from Wisconsin were so amazed at the heroism of a nine-year-old boy who lost his life in a fire in upstate New York that they undertook an eight-hour bus trip to attend his funeral—and moved the boy’s family to tears. Tyler Doohan, a fourth-grader, was asleep when fire broke out in his grandfather’s home near Rochester, New York.  After saving six people he went back into the blaze to attempt to rescue two others, and succumbed to the flames.
         The team at Silver Lake College in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, (sponsored by the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity), inspired by Tyler’s heroism, attended the funeral with the family’s approval, and met the boy’s mother and father.
         “How did it make you feel to put a smile for a few minutes on the faces of a family going through the worst day of their lives?” asked Coach Phil Budervik on the ride back. “One of the players said, ‘It was the best feeling in the world to do that.’ That’s when I knew we had done the absolute right thing. We helped a family and paid our respects to a true hero.”
