HOUSTON - The family and friends of an El Salvador man who "loved to party" have honored his last wish by holding a wake for him at a nightclub, with his coffin taking pride of place right on the dancefloor.
Katerin Mercedes Bernal told Storyful that her late father, Darwin Bernal, had asked for the special sendoff because "he loved to party and loved to dance."
