Had a similar experience at my mother's funeral last year. We were all mask free. A lady comes in with a mask, no harm, no foul. I did not recognize her. We chatted a bit and when she said who she was, I recognized her name as being a very good friend of mom's. I gave her a big smile and reached to shake hands and thank her for the friendship she showed to mom. The words, "Oh thank you" were out as I stuck out my hand. She literally backed up three paces with a look of abject terror in her eyes.
Yes, the fear is the worst.

So sad.
