Funeral Surprise

Imagine attending a dear one’s funeral.  As the outdoor ceremony proceeds, you can’t help but notice a commotion overhead.  Hoping to catch a glimpse of his ascending soul, you glance skyward.  Instead you’re showered with rose petals and US currency.

Come to find out that this was your friend’s final request.  Having been a successful businessman, he wanted to share “5,000 in cash” with the help of a handy helicopter.  His funeral attendees were invited to partake of this free-floating bounty.

All this occurred within a busy section of East Detroit.  Yet iHeartRadio was happy to report, “Despite the potential for chaos, the crowd remained calm and respectful.  All’s well that ends well!
