But there was no way I was going to intrude on that or push the envelop. This family, this community lost someone they loved. The last thing they needed was some newspaper photographer asking them questions that would distract them from what they needed to spend their energy on - grieving.
That is at least my hope.
Remember way back at the beginning of this post I said I had two other assignments?
One was a writing assignment that you can read here!
The other felt a bit surreal to me after covering such a somber and sad funeral. But its fun to end this with some cute kids and Santa Claus. RIP Tunie and may your family celebrate your life the rest of theirs!
