The Trouble With Tulip
“Edna Pratt’s funeral was scheduled to start at 10:00 A.M., but before Jo had the nerve to slip into the back of the service, she wanted to know who else was going to be there.
She had kept a low profile since being stood up at the altar on Saturday, and she didn’t relish walking into a crowd now where she might become the main topic of conversation and gossip. But she felt that she owed it to Sally and to Edna to be there. Since Edna was older and had belonged to a different church than her own..., Jo didn’t think she would know many of the attendees.
So far, it looked as if the service wasn’t going to draw much of a crowd. Of the seven or so people who had already gone inside, Jo only recognized one, and she was just the woman who worked the counter at the dry cleaner.
As the time got closer, a few more people drifted in. Finally, a car pulled up and parked behind Jo. She watched in her side window as two women got out. Jo recognized them as Iris Chutney and Louise Parker, two ladies who went to her own church.MoreLess
