A teen from Oklahoma, Gabriella Bonham, took home a Volkswagen Beetle after winning the vehicle at a generous stranger's funeral in Oklahoma City. Fox News Digital spoke with the teen and family.
An Oklahoma teen is on top of the world after winning a car last month at a funeral 30 miles away from her home — fulfilling the last wish of a woman she had never even met. 'I'm very grateful for this,' Gabriella Bonham, 16, of El Reno, Oklahoma, told Fox News Digital. 'Every person that I've told about it has said, ‘Oh my gosh. That's what I should do whenever I pass away.’ Or, ‘I should do something like that at my funeral.
It was very interesting not to know her and to see her life through her family's eyes,' Bonham said. 'I had a divine feeling from the start this wish would be seen through one way or another — a young girl starting her life as Diane’s was ending.' 'They put together the slideshows and everything and so it was just interesting to feel like you knew someone that you had never met before.
wasn't expecting it at all,' Bonham said. 'I was just in a hotel room with my family because we were currently on a trip. They just told me and I was standing in the middle of the room, just so shocked. My parents were trying to guess what it was. They were like, ‘What happened? Are you OK? Who is it?’ After I got off the phone, we all got excited and called all of our family members who knew that I went to the funeral.
