The funeral home, Routsong, would conduct the exercise, sending out a register book to locals to be signed between 6 am and 10 pm. The book would eventually be sent to the Bryants as a special tribute from Ohio residents.

WHIO TV announced the scheduled local funeral, which would be held via a register signing. Ronnel Hunt, a reporter for the TV, tweeted:

Routsong intends to make the book available to locals through the week, to gather as many messages as possible to help the family move past this devastating moment.

The president of the staples center announced that the tribute items would be cataloged, boxed up, and sent to the 37-year-old at her request.

The Ohio resident tribute comes days after the president of the staples center announced that the tribute items would be cataloged, boxed up, and sent to the 37-year-old at her request.

The grieving wife and mother requested the arena's decision to remove all the tribute items from the venue to make room for other events.
