On Legacies

I often wonder if I died today, who would show up at the funeral?
I imagine my Father and my Mother would be there. Most likely my Brothers and Sisters. Also all my Uncles, Aunts and most of my cousins.
There would probably be several friends and acquaintances I met and affected their life in some way or another throughout my short existence.
There would be flowers and photos. There would long pauses of awkwardness as people who barely know each other fumble to find things to say to my family about the one thing that has brought them together. The one thing that is now gone, me, and most likely they will never meet again in this life because I am gone.

I wonder what they will say about me?
"He was a nice guy"
"I'm gonna miss him"
"I am so sorry for your loss"
