GREENFIELD, Ind. — More than 100 motorcycles drove side-by-side down New Road in Greenfield Tuesday morning.
They were headed to Brandywine Church to pay respects to a boy who most had never met but were moved by his story.
Inside the church, was a memorial dedicated to a fourth grader who died by suicide.
Just beyond the doors to the auditorium, his loved ones shared memories of little Sammy Teusch.
After the service, motorcycles muttered as his uncles and older brothers carried his casket out of the church and placed it into the hearse.
Those same motorcyclists followed the procession to a Greenfield cemetery, where Sammy is now at rest.
And as family and some of the 10-year-old's classmates surrounded his casket, they were united in grief as the pastor read a final prayer.
A candlelight vigil is planned for Friday, May 17 between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. at Depot Street Park in Greenfield, weather-permitting.
