However, if she left now, the rumors that would follow could become overwhelming.
In addition to friends from all walks of life arriving to pay their respects, several media outlets were also present, capturing the event from every angle.

Samson squeezed Linda’s hand. “Thank you, Linda”
“There’s no need to thank me I’m doing this for myself too. I don’t want to be drowned by people’s judgment,‘ she replied, forcing herself to take another bite. She wasn’t hungry, but she knew she wouldn’t have the strength to make it through the afternoon if she didn’t eat.
