In days that followed, flags flew at half-mast inside the stadium. Also, following a pre-game video tribute to Adenhart, everyone in the stadium paused for a moment of silence, and with both teams lined up along the base lines, two Angel teammates stood on the mound and held up Adenhart’s jersey.

The Angels will wear a black patch with the number “34” in white on the left side of their chest for the rest of the season. Additionally, the team will leave Adenhart’s locker untouched in their clubhouse — uniform, glove, cleats — and plan to set up a locker in his memory on the road as well.

The service was held at St. John the Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex. Inside, the funeral was attended by 350 invited guests, but estimates say nearly 2,000 people watched on two electronic screens placed outside the church.

Goody had two small sons, Bobby, 5, and Freddie, 4. She was 27.
