I am Roger Snook Graves cousin from Cincinnati, Theresa Premoh-Graves. I experienced my cousin funeral via live stream. I felt the emotions from family and friends as if I was there. My cousin will be missed greatly. Even though I didn’t get to see him much, I knew he was in Columbus. Now, that is no longer true. I feel his passing deeply. There were many missed opportunities that have passed but, I appreciate the foresight to have live streaming for others.
