I saw that interview with Toni and Tameron asked how are they gonna be there for Traci's son and grandson and Toni replied that Traci was close to her son and grandson and her son's wife and that they're all a big family and Traci had a lot of love around her. Her response was telling. I'm not surprised. On the show the Braxtons didn't like Traci's husband and I think I remember an episode where Traci's son had a christening for his son and the sisters weren't invited. The situation is sad. Funerals are always for the living and not the dead. Honor people while they're above ground you don't have to fight over them once they're below it.

That’s most families.

I had guardianship of my dad and when he passed I didn't give him a funeral I just couldn't pull it together I was so grief stricken. I cremated him and my family was mad because I didn't give him a dinner or memorial none of them were there and I couldn't see being fake with them. My dads ashes are with me and thats that.

[@mshonney69]

Sorry for your loss. My Dad and Mom were divorced, and my Dad was unmarried, so me (I am the eldest), my sister, and brother were able to come together and make decisions during his hospital stay and after his passing. My Dad's younger siblings- My Dad was originally the 2nd oldest, but he had one sister, three brothers still living-----only one of my uncles(the eldest uncle) came to the funeral home for support, along with one of my Dad's good lady friends who helped pay for some items. We ended up cremating my Dad because he had no insurance of any kind, and it was nominal compared to a full out burial. I initially paid for the cremation; and with some lovely donations from some friends of mine and my Dad, we were able to take care of everything. We had a lovely memorial service at the church where my Dad was a founding Deacon, and all the family and many friends showed up. My hubby did the worlds of encouragement. It was sometime long after the services that my husband told me some of my Dad's siblings were not in agreement with the cremation. But, it never made it to my ears during the planning. I also have his ashes. They were all supportive when it was time to clean out his apartment, so I have no ill feelings about that time period at all.

I definitely believe Kevin. From the show and them revealing what went on behind closed doors, they ALWAYS had a problem with him and threw his background in his and Traci faces every chance they got. It’s really childish and sad to do giving how they claim they love Traci and Jr so much but causing all this drama. That was his wife and Jrs mother! She had a right to express to them her change of mind. They always had this control complex against Traci, it came across on the show. Then the fact that Traci made Jr the executor of her estate because SHE KNEW they would come for Kevin.. It’s sad.

Her mother (my aunt) or father didn't raise her, our grandmother did. Her mother had finally come back around to only live with her 10yrs ago. She had no husband or children and she had no will. All my life my aunt told everyone she wanted to be cremated. Our family was all around as she took her last breath. 5mins later her "mother" starting making plans the very opposite of what she wanted. I almost bust the b*tch upside her head.

You are right. A spouse comes first and has all legal rights. However, just because my siblings’ spouses have the power to make ALL the decisions doesn’t mean I have to go along with something I know has been expressed by my deceased sibling which goes against their wishes. And, siblings know siblings, so if I know I have controlling or stubborn siblings that think they know everything, I’ll specifically tell them what I want so there wouldn’t be any confusion. They were blessed with more than enough time to sort this mess out when Traci was alive. I feel for the husband and children, but the sisters bring up a good point: why wasn’t Traci’s father able to speak? She said it herself that out of ALL the sisters she’s the daddy’s girl. Why didn’t they at least invite him on stage to stand in support. See, something doesn’t add up. Traci was a people’s person but also a private person. Fans didn’t know she was even sick! She was cremated quickly which all tells me she didn’t want her sickness and death to draw attention or be analyzed by onlookers. I can respect the Braxton’s decision. If the husband were to have said to them that HE needed them to be there for him and his family because this is what they feel is needed for them to have closure then this would have been a different story, and I would have thought that the Braxton family should have given them that. But, instead, he’s saying this is what Traci would have wanted which conflicts with what her family was told.
