In a time of deep grief, a man mourned the loss of his beloved father. At the funeral, his stepmother and her four adult children arrived, dressed entirely in white from head to toe.
Their entrance immediately drew attention. Their attire stood out, strikingly inappropriate for the solemn occasion. It was as if they were dressed for a summer party rather than paying their respects to the man who had provided for them.
The grieving son, puzzled by their choice, approached his stepmother. When he asked her what she was thinking, she casually brushed off his concerns. With her usual sass, she claimed they were simply honoring her late husband’s final wish.

The son was taken aback. Why would his father, known for his sharp wit, request that they wear white to his funeral? Was there something on his mind before he passed? Or was this his stepmother, Vivian, trying to make a statement about her newfound control over the family’s business and assets? Despite the confusion, the son was too overcome with grief to dwell on Vivian's motives.
As the service was about to begin, Vivian and her children took seats in the front row, not with sorrow, but with faint smiles on their faces.

Then, Joe, the deceased's best friend, began reading a letter. The words he spoke sent shockwaves through the room.
“Throughout my illness, my ex-wife Martha stood by my side, while Vivian and her children only came around when they needed something,” Joe read aloud. The next revelation left the attendees stunned. “My financial advisor discovered that Vivian and her children had been stealing money from me.” The room buzzed with murmurs as Vivian's face turned pale. Joe continued, “I asked them to wear white so that everyone could see them for who they truly are.”

Vivian and her children quickly stormed out, their departure a relief to those who had come to honor the deceased.
For the rest of the service, the attendees shared heartfelt memories of the man’s life. His son, reflecting on the moment, said, “Dad always knew how to make a statement.”
