OXFORD — Three-hundred people came together Friday to say goodbye to Brandon Giordano, 15, who died a week earlier in a car accident.
The nearly two-hour service at Cornerstone Assembly of God, Route 67, drew family and friends, including Oxford High School students, among them dozens of members of the Wolverines football team, for which Brandon wore No. 69 as a lineman.
His 55 jersey-clad teammates, carrying or wearing flowers, escorted his family and casket in a 15-minute procession into the church for the late-morning service, led by Senior Pastor Alfred D. Watts of Cornerstone Christian Church in Milford.
