The siguiente morning, John gently woke Lydia. He said, "I just talked with your father. He made the funeral arrangements. Family and friends will be received from 1:00-3:00 tomorrow afternoon. The funeral will be at 5:00 that evening, and the graveside service will be the siguiente morning." She said, "Okay. I guess we better get ready to head up the road." Lydia, John, and their friends made the trip to Virginia. Lydia and John's friends got to meet Lydia's parents. Lydia's mother dicho to Pattie, "Lydia talks about tu all the time." Pattie blushed and said, "Good things, I hope." Lydia's mother said, "Always." She even took a liking to Gavin's Liverpool accent. She sat close to him at cena just to hear him talk. The siguiente day, at the funeral home, Lydia went up to the coffin to see her grandmother one last time. She missed her grandmother already. She decided to go off to be alone. Just then, she heard Pattie's voice. "There tu are, Lydia." She said. Lydia asked, "Were tu looking for me." Pattie said, "Yeah. How are tu holding up?" Lydia broke down and cried. Pattie hugged Lydia and said, "Be strong. I'm here for you." Lydia dicho through tears, "I miss her already. She was the woman who took care of my perros when I went on vacation. She was the woman who taught me how to whistle. Now she's gone." Pattie said, "I didn't know tu could whistle." Lydia dried her tears and whistled the tune of "Strawberry Fields Forever". Pattie said, "You're really good." Lydia said, "Thanks. At least, my grandmother will live on through me." They then heard Gavin's voice. "You even favor her in your appearance, love." He said. Catherine added, "You really do." Marie added, "I see where tu get your pretty hair." Lydia said, "Well, thank you." John added, "Your grandmother was a beautiful woman, and tu are, too." He kissed Lydia. She didn't know what to say, so she kissed him back. Rebecca said, "Aw! That was so sweet!" Lydia felt comfort, being surrounded por people she loved. She knew that they loved her, too.

Lydia and her friends got cena and ended the evening with karaoke. They went to the hotel. After they unpacked their things, John called Lydia on her cellphone. She said, "I'm putting tu on speaker so that tu can talk to everyone." He said, "Okay." Lydia's friends said, "Hello, John." He said, "Hello, everyone." Lydia's friends introduced themselves. They talked about their adventure. John said, "You all were so noble to come to Pattie's rescue. Are tu all right, Pattie?" She said, "I'm fine. I do hope Alan stays in jail. He is absolutely despicable and just sick." Lydia said, "I wish there was a way to get even with him." John said, "You don't have to. Karma will get him in the end." Catherine said, "John's right. There was a guy who hurt me and my friends. He ended up dying from alcohol poisoning." Lydia said, "I guess karma is real." After talking with John, Lydia and her friends called it a night and went to bed.
