It doesn't matter, really, I just wondered.

Still want to know who the woman with the big hat sitting just behind the pulpit was.
I know that one of the women sitting behind the pulpit was the wife of Bishop TD Jakes. Bishop TD Jakes was sitting next to Jesse Jackson.

Also, since they were videotaping/filming I can assume that the lighting was probably a bit bright as well. That along with the ability to hide emotions were the reasons for the sunglasses.

I didn't observe what you're speaking about but it doesn't seem that odd to me. I know I had shades on at one point at a close relatives funeral. For me a way to stay more inside myself and grieve in the moment and with the spirit of the person who had passed I think.

what's up with that?
Then again Jaijai saying nothing hasn't helped either. If we can help ease her pain it's worth a shot!

I don't "need" to know. It's just that I spent the better part of the afternoon looking at this person and her hat and wondered who she was and why she was up there right behind the pulpit.

Oh, OK, that would make sense. I heard Bishop Jakes speak. He was short and to the point, and very, very good.

Kevin Costner seems like a man who anyone would genuinely be lucky to have on their side, no matter what.

Initially I had thought this was one of those sad eventual events in the life of someone with long-term drug and alcohol problems.

But after hearing about how there were people in her hotel suite while she spent an hour in the bath tub - and that previous staff had not allowed her to take baths due to their fear that she could fall asleep while in one- I do believe this was entirely preventable.

Had those people with her in her suite that night decided to have someone sit in there while she took a bath, or told her she could not take one (given that there are reports of her seeming to be out of it in the days prior to the day she died), she would most likely be alive today.

So while it may be her fault that she was drinking and drugging, the people in her entourage I believe failed her. Its very sad that it led to her death.
