Funeral Service Monday for Notre Dame Student
BUFFALO GROVE, Ill. (AP) -- A church bell tolls solemnly as mourners gather at in suburban Chicago for the funeral of a Notre Dame student killed last week when a tower from which he was videotaping a football practice toppled over.

Declan Sullivan of Long Grove was on a scissor lift that fell as wind gusts reportedly reached around 50 mph.

Sullivan's uncle says that the family has focused on celebrating the 20-year-old's life. Mike Miley says the family isn't thinking, for now, about who may have been to blame for the accident.

Miley says at least two buses were scheduled to bring students from Notre Dame to the funeral at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Buffalo Grove. He didn't immediately know if Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly planned to attend.
