Rudy Espinoza, conducting the raffle and Gabrielle standing beside her new car. Diane Sweeney was a family-oriented woman who loved her WV Beetle and her faith. She also offered her car as a last wish to anyone attending her funeral. She had told her nephew Rick Ingram that she would give her car away in a raffle in the event of her death. “I remember it as clearly as day.” Bonham was able to convince her sisters to take her to the funeral and she was able to witness the kindness and life of Ms. Sweeney, who died without ever having married or had children. “It was interesting to not know her and see her life from her family’s perspective,” Bonham said. Bonham, who had been enjoying the experience of filling out a raffle, assumed that someone else had won the silver 2016 Beetle. The funeral intern invited strangers to the service. 3,000 people came from all over the country. The 16-year old was on vacation when she received the call. She described herself as freezing and having her mouth open, confusing her family. Bonham said, “I should do that when I die.” Or, “I should do something similar at my funeral.” “I find it really cool to watch something good happen, and see the impact it has on people who were not directly involved. It’s amazing.” It’s amazing.”
With her final wishes, a kind woman made the decision to do something amusing by offering her car to anyone who would come to her funeral. She went by the name of Diane Sweeney and was a supporter of her family, faith, and WV Beetle. She had told her nephew Rick Ingram about her sudden death in July of next year.
