The outpouring of love for my mom… From people I don’t know. She was so loved and respected. She touched so many lives and changed them for the better. I feel I didn’t really know my mom.

The funeral. Wow. So many people. So much grief. So much respect… And so many flowers. She would have been happy.

Our family always forgets their differences on the event of a loss. Cousins I haven’t seen in years came together and it called for a photoshoot. Some amazing images came of us being together.
