This kind of thing costs nothing, but the respect shown to the grieving family means the world to them... I don't think many other states do that sort of thing.

Tennessee really is friendly, we still practice the act of pulling over whenever there is a funeral escort taking place here in Wisconsin...

I've posted numerous questions here and I was overwhelmed by how much people helped me.. I've even had emails regarding places for rent and where I could work. A good friend in the Tri-Cities forum gave me his phone number so when I visit I can call him and he will answer any of my questions... That is what I call friendly!

I have to tell you that this always moves me to tears. When total strangers stop what they're doing, pull over to the side of the road and take off their hats out of respect for the deceased's grieving family, it's a humbling experience.
