The seterusnya morning, John gently woke Lydia. He said, "I just talked with your father. He made the funeral arrangements. Family and Friends will be received from 1:00-3:00 tomorrow afternoon. The funeral will be at 5:00 that evening, and the graveside service will be the seterusnya morning." She said, "Okay. I guess we better get ready to head up the road." Lydia, John, and their Friends made the trip to Virginia. Lydia and John's Friends got to meet Lydia's parents. Lydia's mother berkata to Pattie, "Lydia talks about anda all the time." Pattie blushed and said, "Good things, I hope." Lydia's mother said, "Always." She even took a liking to Gavin's Liverpool accent. She sat close to him at makan malam, majlis makan malam just to hear him talk. The seterusnya day, at the funeral home, Lydia went up to the coffin to see her grandmother one last time. She missed her grandmother already. She decided to go off to be alone. Just then, she heard Pattie's voice. "There anda are, Lydia." She said. Lydia asked, "Were anda looking for me." Pattie said, "Yeah. How are anda holding up?" Lydia broke down and cried. Pattie hugged Lydia and said, "Be strong. I'm here for you." Lydia berkata through tears, "I miss her already. She was the woman who took care of my Anjing when I went on vacation. She was the woman who taught me how to whistle. Now she's gone." Pattie said, "I didn't know anda could whistle." Lydia dried her tears and whistled the tune of "Strawberry Fields Forever". Pattie said, "You're really good." Lydia said, "Thanks. At least, my grandmother will live on through me." They then heard Gavin's voice. "You even favor her in your appearance, love." He said. Catherine added, "You really do." Marie added, "I see where anda get your pretty hair." Lydia said, "Well, thank you." John added, "Your grandmother was a beautiful woman, and anda are, too." He kissed Lydia. She didn't know what to say, so she kissed him back. Rebecca said, "Aw! That was so sweet!" Lydia felt comfort, being surrounded sejak people she loved. She knew that they loved her, too.
