Visitation for Lisa Lopez-Galvan draws hundreds
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The crowd outside Redemptorist Church at 3333 Broadway stretched up Broadway and down Linwood Friday night.
A visitation for Lisa Lopez-Galvan drew at least 1,000 people offering to her family. The family chose Redemptorist because it can accommodate more people than her parish church.
The sanctuary seats 800. The visitation was to begin at 7 p.m. with a Rosary at 6:30 p.m.
By 5:45 p.m. it was full, the line snaking around the block.

Many people came wearing Chiefs jerseys. A classic red El Camino had a Chiefs flag waving above it.
Lopez-Galvan was killed on Feb. 14 in the mass shooting at Union Station after the Chiefs Super Bowl rally. Her cousin, Anna Bazan-Munguia, read a statement from the family.
“On behalf of the Lopez-Galvan family we want to thank our beautiful community for their love, and prayers during this saddening time,” it read in part.
Her funeral will take place at 10 a.m. Saturday. Her parish priest from St. Agnes will preside over the mass. It will be open to the public. The burial that follows will be private.
