MY NAME IS AKIA TAYLOR, DAUGHTER-IN-LAW TO CAROLYN PERKINS WHOSE SERVICES WERE BROADCAST ON FB LIVE.
TODAY WE LAID MOMMA TO REST AFTER A LONG AND DIFFICULT BATTLE WITH ILLNESS. OUR FAMILY CHOSE Walker Funeral Service & Chapel TO SUPPORT US ON THIS FINAL JOURNEY.
WE LIVE IN NYC. WE ALSO HAVE FAMILY IN MD AND DC. COLLECTIVELY, SOME OF US MADE THE DECISION NOT TO TRAVEL TO DECATUR, IL AS WE WERE TOLD THAT HER SERVICES WOULD BE STREAMED SO THAT WE COULD SEE OUR BELOVED THROUGH HER FINAL MILESTONE ON THIS EARTHLY PLANE.
IMAGINE OUR SURPRISE WHEN THE LADY WHO WAS MANNING YOUR CAMERAS DROPPED THE DEVICE, FOLLOWED BY THE FACEBOOK LIVE NEVER CONNECTING AGAIN. THIS RESULTED IN OUR LONG-DISTANCE FAMILY NOT BEING ABLE TO VIEW OR PARTICIPATE IN SUCH AN IMPORTANT AND EMOTION-FILLED RITE OF PASSAGE.
I WOULD BE DISHONEST IF I TOLD YOU THAT I WAS NOT SORELY DISAPPOINTED. ACTUALLY, WE ARE DOWNRIGHT HURT. YOUR LACK OF PREPAREDNESS STOLE OUR LAST MOMENTS WITH A WOMAN WE LOVE AND RESPECT.

My sister and I felt overwhelmed, but Walker Funeral Services was more than helpful and accommodating in helping our family get through losing our father.
