Brooklyn-born mom who saved her son in the Orlando nightclub shooting was remembered during an emotional funeral service at the First United Methodist Church of Orlando on Monday, June 20.
According to US Weekly, Brenda Lee Marquez McCool was salsa dancing with her son Isaiah Henderson when gunman Omar Mateen opened fire at Pulse, a gay nightclub, on Sunday, June 12. The 49-year-old mom of 11 reportedly stepped in front of her son and instructed him to “get down” moments before she was shot dead.
“My mom was the best mom,” Henderson, 21, said, sobbing, during a heartbreaking eulogy on Monday, according to a video posted by NBC News. “I never thought her life would end right in front of my eyes.”
