Chapter 23 MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR HIS FUNERAL

RAY PARKER

It was a Sunday morning. Dad's funeral was that day. Larry and Jeffrey made all the preparations together with me. I even asked Stevie to get a new black tux for myself. Dad's body was still in the hospital. The doctors had said that it was an accidental case so they did not let us take him home. On that day some officers were also coming to the house to inquire.

I picked up my car key and went to the flower shop. I wanted to put white lilies on Dad's coffin, which was his favorite. I parked the car outside the shop nearest to my house and then I got down from the car. I then saw that the gate of the shop was shut and "Closed" was written on it. Then I thought I would try it at another shop. I sat in my car again and drove to another shop. During that time, my phone rang and Eliza's call came. I ignored her call and started moving forward. After a while, her call came again. I did pick up her call at last.
