funeral

[justme73]

i just found out yesterday that my attorney died in her sleep sometime monday night. it is very sad... and i had just spoken with her at 7pm that night. i realize that though i am not her friend, we have gotten to know one another a bit over the last two years of my modification case.

my question is.... do you think that her funeral is more of a family thing and since i knew her in a professional capacity and was a client, maybe i shouldn't go to the funeral?

this is what my husband said when i inquired about the funeral, and thought you might offer insight.

If you want to honor her memory, then go. I doubt that the family would be insulted. In fact, the idea of a client going to an attorney's funeral is probably national news!
