Butte comes together to grieve for crash victims
St. John's Episcopal Church sits on a hill overlooking the city of Butte, Montana, and right now the church is busy looking out for their community members who are grieving in the wake of the deadly plane crash there last weekend.
The church has planned a city-wide memorial for all who have been effected by the crash, the outreach to the entire city something that has become commonplace the last few days in Butte.
Inside St. John's Father Elton Smith and Deacon-in-training Mary Alice Jones prepare for what they anticipate will be a packed memorial service.
"This is a horrible event for all involved but nonetheless I think we're seeing Butte at its best," Father Smith said.
At the crash site flowers, hand written cards and crosses for each of the victims line the Holy Cross cemetery's fence line, most if not all left behind by complete strangers to those who died here.
"Butte is a town that cares," Father Smith said.
