A final farewell to the fallen

Amid the sadness during Friday's funeral mass for slain police Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski, which took place at the Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul in Center City, there was one moment of levity. Liczbinski's son, Matt, fondly recalled his father's love for the Philadelphia Flyers professional hockey team."Let's go Flyers, Let's go," Matt and the congregation cheered. His father's casket was draped with flowers, along with a Flyers insignia.
