A Houston Girl Had A Funeral For Her Gerbil And Her Family Showed Up And Showed Out To Support Her

Death can be hard to process, especially for a child, but thankfully 9-year-old Marley’s family had her back when she had to say goodbye to her beloved gerbil Matheo.

It was clear that her pet gerbil meant a lot to her, so her mother and grandmother decided to hold a memorial for Matheo and invited the whole family.

Judging by what we can see, the family did not hold back either. Marley’s grandmother made the gerbil’s obituary while her cousins sang and read scripture during the funeral.

The family even held a reception following the burial. Some might call it extra, but this family really showed up and showed out when young Marley was feeling blue. SWIPE to see the lengths the family went to support their baby girl.
