The first funeral I ever attended of someone I truly loved was my grandmother Alma Mays, and although she resided in Buffalo for many years she was buried in Brunswick, GA.
I was 14 years old, grieving, struggling to understand death on an entirely new level. Questioning what my life would become because she was the matriarch, without doubt.
During the processional almost every car stopped until we passed. It was something that made a difficult moment a little easier. Seeing how people that did not know my Granny paid respect by simply stopping.
This was in the late 80s.
Today, I'm back in Brunswick and I see there are still a few that hold on to those traditions of old.
What traditions are a part of your upbringing?
