Chapter 37

Preparations were made for Nathan’s funeral service. It was held in a church. The whole atmosphere was gloomy and in a mourning mood, as everyone was dressed in black. It was hard to believe that Nathan was dead. Family and friends went to the pulpit one after another to recount their experiences with Nathan when he was alive.

Rebecca and Michelle broke down in tears while giving their speech. It’s still impossible for them to come to terms with the fact that they will never see Nathan again.

After the funeral service, his body was taken to the cemetery to be buried.

Michelle watched as the coffin was slowly lowered six feet under. She was numb, she couldn’t move or do anything else. She recalled how Nathan was fond of her during their time of friendship.

How he always made her flushed with his compliments. He was always there for her when she needed a shoulder to cry on. He was always concerned about how she felt and always wanted to make her happy.
