Wayland Town Crier 5/29/12: Wayland native a ‘shining star’ who met President Obama. Marina Keegan’s parents remember their 22-year-old daughter as “a shining star, much like a comet, that burned so bright in such a short period of time.” Keegan died Saturday afternoon in a car crash on Cape Cod, only a week after graduating from Yale University. “It’s a horrible situation, to lose a child,” her father, Kevin, said yesterday. “It’s been a nightmare for us. Our hearts our broken, as you can only imagine.”
