Columbus School Remembers Classmate.

Funeral services are scheduled later today for 14 year old Jon Fowler. Fowler is the first Ohio child to die of swine flu complications. He attended Holy Spirit school in Whitehall. On Monday, fellow students, teachers and administrators remembered Fowler with prayers and tears. WOSU's Debbie Holmes reports school officials helped students cope with the loss of the eighth-grader.

Debbie Holmes began her career in broadcasting in Columbus after graduating from The Ohio State University. She left the Buckeye state to pursue a career in television news and worked as a reporter and anchor in Moline, Illinois and Memphis, Tennessee.
