A Wedding and a Funeral

Sad news for Rosalie's Uncle Eddie and Aunt Rose: they lost their daughter, Bekki, in a car accident in eastern Colorado on July 6. Bekki's daughter Amanda was in the car but survived. Eddie and Rose, and Bekki's two daughters, Amanda and Elise, live in Indiana (Columbus and Seymour). The family had gathered in Denver where the oldest daughter (of four) was just married. Amanda graduated from high school and will be going away to college, but Elise, who is eight, will need a home, and they are praying it won't be with her father, who is said to be mentally unstable. Ed is the most likely prospect of the fathering person but he is now 70. They are all anxious and of course sad. Then there are the details, like transporting Bekki back to Indiana, planning and paying for her burial, etc. It's a mess, and a big loss for them.
