She became a global inspiration when she wished for 8,000 birthday cars on March 3rd and folks sent over 300,000 from around the world. Motorcyclists rallied to deliver stacks of those cars right to her door, turning her wish into a massive show of love. Earlier this week, organizers announced her funeral for April Fool's Day, calling it perfect for the forever smiling prankster who touched so many. Hearts. Hundreds of mourners gathered at Waisley Hills Crematorium today. Mixing tears with smiles as they honored her strength and joy.
