As a mother who lost a child, and knows of many others like myself, his comments were offensive, even worse. There is NO way for anyone to know what's in the heart of a grief-stricken mother. Every grieving mother I know mourned differently, especially in public. Sometimes donning a nice outfit, applying make-up, doing one's hair, is the only thing you can do to keep yourself from drowning. 'Fake it til you make it.'
The fact that he even commented on her 'prettiness'. Oh my.
