Pallbearers carry George Floyd's casket out of The Fountain of Praise church in Houston. Floyd's niece Brooke Williams said in a eulogy that drew applause inside the Fountain of Praise Church, “I can breathe. "Until these people pay for what they did we will be there with them because lives like George Floyd will not matter until somebody pays the cost for taking their lives." “I would like to thank the whole world for what it has done for my family today, especially George,” Floyd’s aunt, Kathleen McGee said at the funeral. “I have gained such a huge family all over the world.”Sobbing in grief, Floyd's brother Philonise said, "George was my personal superman."
