2 Metro-North Train Crash Victims Mourned at Funerals

Two more funerals are being held for victims of Sunday's Metro-North derailment.

Services were being held Friday for Jim Lovell in Cold Spring and Donna Smith in Newburgh. James Ferrari of Montrose was buried Thursday.

A funeral for a third victim, Kisook Ahn of Queens, will be held Saturday, the Queens Courier reports.

An Irish pipe solo was played at the funeral for Lovell, a sound and lighting expert. He was headed to work on the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree Sunday when the Metro-North Railroad train derailed.

Lovell's loved ones remembered him as a dedicated father, caring husband and loyal friend with a passion for his work.

NBC's broadcast of Wednesday's tree lighting was dedicated to Lovell, a married father of four.

Smith, a paralegal, was active in her church and civic groups. She was heading to hear her sister sing Handel's "Messiah" with a choral group.

Smith's family offered thanks to emergency responders and hospital staff for support in their time of need.
