“We were at the burial, I made sure I went with my guitar. That morning we started singing, and I was leading worship and praising God. As they said I should pay my last rite and pour the sand, I carried my guitar and sang, ‘God, You are so good to me.’ People were crying, I was crying too, my voice was shaking, but I was still singing.”
