The Parker funeral was one of those demonstrations of why small-town America is such a wonderful place to live. We had lost two of our own, and everyone in town felt a need to share in the grief. We are all so tightly connected here that having two others missing added to the pain. It was cutting deeply into a collective heart.

I found a back corner and scanned the standing-room-only crowd, watching for any sign of guilty curiosity. I saw only sincere mourning. Reverend Latimer spoke of the couple as if, after suffering the tragedies of losing others they loved, they had found new joy in a relationship that was as sacredly bound as any present. I saw no skeptical frowns or judgmental shaking of the head. Only a genuine shared feeling of loss.

Following the internment, Crayton assembled again to eat and remember and worry. With their children disappearing in foreign places and houses being set aflame here in town, life might not be as simple and safe as it always had been. I ate and commiserated with them and did what I could to assure them they were safe and well looked after.
