Here in South Carolina, the first two funerals for last week’s church massacre victims began Thursday in a series of services that will continue today and over the weekend. Loved ones remembered Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, a 45-year-old mother of three, reverend and high school track coach; and Ethel Lance, a 70-year-old grandmother who had worked at Emanuel AME Church for more than three decades. The funeral for the Emanuel AME’s pastor, the Reverend Clementa Pinckney, also a state senator, will be held today. President Obama will deliver the eulogy.
