Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Tom Menino have called for a moment of silence to be held at 2:50 p.m. Monday, exactly one week after the bombing.
Moment of silence Monday at 2:50 p.m., exactly one week after Boston Marathon bombings. The silence will be followed by ringing of bells.

Additionally, some have called for a social media moment of silence at that time.
We should observe a social media moment of silence at 2:50 pm tomorrow as well. No tweet more important than honoring the bombing victims.
