Gathered together

It's not very busy in downtown Tracy today.

That's because a good number of the people who don't make a daily commute for work — and many who ususally do — are at West High School to publicly mourn the death of Sandra Cantu.

Even at 10:30 a.m. — a good 2½ hours before the service began — people were gathering.

Services began about 15 minutes ago. I might be in the office today, but my thoughts and the thoughts of everyone here are at the high school.
