Sending a message to children
He sent a letter to Mary’s children informing them that she had died, hoping that this would cause them to relax their watch. He also hoped they would attend the burial so he could watch their demeanor. When the funeral day arrived, Mike was in for a tremendous surprise.
An Empty Farewell
Amidst the solemn whispers of mourning and the somber tones of the funeral service, a stark emptiness pervaded the air. The absence of Mary’s children was palpable, a silence that spoke louder than any eulogy could. Friends and acquaintances shared consoling words and fond memories, but the void left by her own flesh and blood cast a shadow over the proceedings, a poignant reminder of the disregard they had shown her in life and now in death.
