Funeral of Someone Who Made a Huge Difference

Filed under: Personal Vidal — over 4 years ago
The mother of one of my good friends passed away suddenly this weekend, and this morning I attended the funeral. She was only 66 years old. I have been to several funerals, and this was a very special funeral. I knew that something was up when the parking lot at the church was completely full at 11am on a Tuesday. I would guess 400 to 500 people attended the funeral for this woman who I never met. The church was quite full. My friend's mother had dedicated her life to helping those less fortunate and was a leader in her community and church. The service was beautiful. The stories that people shared about her left me and the audience deeply moved and inspired. She made a huge difference to so many people during her life. The service left me, and other people who I talked to, wondering what legacy we are each leaving, what we are doing to help others, and how many people will attend our funerals when we all pass away someday.... Even after death, my friend's mother was having an impact.
