Visitors stand in line to pay their respects to Sen. Dianne Feinstein as her body lies in state at City Hall in San Francisco on Wednesday.A steady stream of mourners filed past a flag-draped coffin holding Feinstein’s body inside the City Hall rotunda, as a string quartet played on the grand staircase. Erica Moreno of Sacramento brought her three daughters along to honor Feinstein.
“I just remember that her long Senate career especially, and her contributions to San Francisco when she was mayor, in terms of gay rights, in terms of transit, a lot of it really impacts all of us, even in the present day,” Xia said. “Without her, I don’t think we’d have cable cars or the street cars today.”
Despite her groundbreaking achievements over more than five decades in public office, Feinstein was sometimes criticized as being too conservative, or for staying in office too long.“It’s just been an amazing run. And no matter the conflict that people have had with her last years, I think that the work that she did outweighed all of that,” Farmer said.
“As mayor of the city, she came in under the most gruesome circumstances, and yet she gave comfort and strength to the city at that difficult time,” Pelosi added. “She and I were not on the same place on the political spectrum. So we had our fun with it all. My family loved her. We were neighbors, we were friends.”
