Forest Hills Cemetery, where the snow stays white and there are no arguments over space savers, remains a refuge during this historic winter. Someone even cleared a path to the Fireman’s Lot, where most recently Firefighter Michael Kennedy was laid to rest.
The remains of Firefighter Michael Kennedy rest near those of 15 other Boston firefighters who died in the line of duty and are buried in the Fireman’s Lot at Forest Hills Cemetery.
The whole city is mourning the deaths of Lt. Ed Walsh and Firefighter Michael Kennedy, who lost their lives battling a fire in Back Bay on Wednesday. In Jamaica Plain, a memorial has been set up at the Soldier’s Monument where Centre meets South streets.
