The funeral of Krystle Campbell, one of three victims who died in the Boston Marathon bombings April 15, was held at a church today in Medford, Mass.

Up to 1,000 mourners lined up at St. Joseph Church this morning for the funeral of the victim.

29-year-old Campbell was a restaurant manager who had been waiting near the finish line of the marathon cheering on a friend.
Meanwhile, union members and a local motorcycle club had gathered to prevent a protest from the Westboro Baptist Church, a church known for its controversial protests. The church had issued a statement over the weekend saying that they would protest the victim's funeral.

However, union members gathered to stand in front of the protestors so they could be out of sight for the victim's family.
Sean O'Brien, president of Teamster's local, told Boston.com that the community reached out to the Teamsters yesterday "because they know how influential we are."

O'Brien said it's the right thing to do to protect the funeral. "The family deserves a peaceful grieving process that's free from any coward-led group."

Teamsters members were mobilized through social media, according to O'Brien.

The motorcycle club's Wallie Hawkins told the New York Daily News that over 100 bikers will line up the street of the funeral home to thwart protestors and rev their bikes.

8-year-old Martin Richard and 23-year-old Lu Lingzi also died in the tragic bombing. Richard's 6-year-old sister lost a leg while his mom needed emergency brain surgery. Lingzi was a grad student a Boston University and a memorial service is expected to take place at BU today.
