| Mourners file into church for Tubbs Jones viewing Hundreds of mourners are lined up outside a Cleveland church to pay their respects to the late Democratic U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. The 58-year-old Tubbs Jones died Aug. 20 from a brain hemorrhage caused by a ruptured aneurysm. She was the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress. The mourners were slowly moving into Bethany Baptist Church, where the viewing was being held. Tubbs Jones represented Cleveland and several eastern suburbs. Cleveland resident Reba Ryan, one of the first to go inside, says it's hard to believe that Tubbs Jones is gone. A memorial service will be held Saturday morning. source: AP - http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080829/ap_on_go_co/congresswoman_dies_services [link] | ||||
