    Community, culture, respect and tradition; beautiful to see! It's all that's missing in the lower 48. We have lost the "unity" in community down here.

    Thank you so much for the people allowing you to share their traditions. What an amazing way to pay tribute to a loved one. I love the community/family coming together for one another. I hope and pray they make sure to carry on and pass down all these treasured and priceless traditions. I hope these traditions and languages will never fade away.

      Everyone gets one and some are more attended than others. Some people usually don't go and others don't ever miss one. Everyone is welcome.
