Finally there is some good news surrounding the heart-achingly sad story of Christian Massey.
He's the former Marple Newtown athlete who was gunned down on a Philly street by a thief who wanted his expensive Beats By Dr. Dre headphones.
Massey's family could not afford the funeral expenses for the "gentle giant" who graduated from Marple Newtown last June.
That's when the Marple Newtown school community stepped in to help the family, and honor the alum who was beloved to many in the district.
Several donors are going to pay for Massey's funeral. You can read the details here.
It won't ease the pain from a senseless death, it doesn't change the anger that wells up within when you think of taking a life because of a pair of headphones.
But it does mean that a good, decent kid will get a decent burial.
Kudos to the Marple Newtown community.
