Services for Swing have been set for 2 p.m. Wednesday at the chapel of Barrett Funeral Home. Visitation will be held from 2-4 and 6-8 pm Tuesday.
Services for Hamilton will be held at 4:30 pm Wednesday at Memorial Park Funeral Home in Gainesville. Visitation will be held Tuesday from 5-9 pm.
Meanwhile, a Taylor Swing Memorial Fund has been set up at United Community Bank in Cleveland to help defray his funeral expenses for the family.
During the day Monday students and family members gathered at the bridge on Gene Nix Road to honor and remember the two teens. Many of those who stopped by just stood silently, some crying just looking at the creek where the teens died.
