*Some four thousand mourners filled Florida International University's Pharmed Arena Monday for a final farewell to Sean Taylor, the 24-year-old Washington Redskins safety who was killed in what appears to be a botched home invasion.
The entire Washington Redskins organization took up one third of the floor, while past and present members of his University of Miami college team filled seats in another third. The arena's mid-section was filled with Taylor's family and friends, including his father Pedro, step mother and step-siblings; girlfriend Jackie Garcia and her family; and the couple's 18-month-old daughter, also named Jackie.
Taylor's wooden casket was surrounded by bouquets while two video displays behind it showed images of the football player from his days with the Redskins, Miami Hurricanes and high school.
