My cousinβs final request at her funeral was Backpacks full of supplies for needy students instead of flowers. A teacher to the end.
Conversation
She had about 100 teachers as honorary pallbearers who carried the backpacks out and back to their schools. It was heartwarming.

Hello, I am a journalist with CNN. I am so sorry for your loss. I know this may be a difficult time, but is it possible to speak to you sometime today? Also, did you take these photos? If so, can CNN have permission to use them on all our platforms/affiliates?
