Six Months Later
The cemetery was peaceful. It was well-tended with beautiful birch and maple trees that looked magnificent in October with their red, yellow, and light green leaves. Lisa's stone was made of pink granite with the words "In loving memory" inscribed at the bottom. Her parents planted geraniums and silver leaf plants, and watered them everyday. Soon, the ground would freeze over and the flowers would die.
Lisa had a beautiful Catholic service. More than 300 people attended the ceremony. It was standing room only in the small elegant church on Kent Street. The priest mentioned the old cliché about God's work being like a quilt that we saw backwards. Only the person who created the tapestry knew the way that it was meant to look. We could only see a small part of the underside.
Those of us who had not crossed over beyond the veil didn't know what the finished product looked like, or why there were flaws in the design. Death existed simply because our bodies were mortal. The Lord had created a room for each of us in His house and Lisa was now in that room.
