After a long, routine day of work, it is finally time to go home and relax. Not thinking of anything negative or out of the way, I take a hot shower and destress. It feels so good to be relaxed in the comfort of your home. I start making dinner and find something on T.V. to look at. As my dinner gets done, I sit down to look at T.V and the phone rings.

Their setting up was at my Aunt Kelly’s house and their funeral was held at my great-grandmothers’ church. The start of their funeral was 11:00 am Saturday morning, after my Uncle Tim’s funeral
