CHAPTER 1 - BOOK 2

"She will be remembered for the rest of eternity, as her angel follows is and guides us for the rest of our lives as well. We thank you for joining us today."

Joe watched as they lowered the casket, throwing his white flower into the grave. Then, he watched as the shovels were grabbed from two workers and they began returning the mud into its home, hiding underneath the flowers and the casket that had all the dismantled parts of his grandmother. Her body had been found months later, barely recognizable and only traced from the DNA.
