She's gone under

With Father Andrewson resting under the care of the doctor, Father Jacob and the others gathered to make arrangements for Sister Veronica's burial. Despite John's initial resistance, they felt it was necessary to honor her memory and provide her with a proper resting place.

Working swiftly yet with solemn reverence, they prepared for the burial ceremony, ensuring that every detail was attended to with the utmost care and respect. The church grounds became a scene of quiet activity as they set about their task, their movements guided by a shared sense of duty and affection for Sister Veronica.

As they lowered her body into the earth, heartfelt prayers were offered, each word a testament to the impact she had made on the lives of those around her. Tears were shed freely, mingling with the soft earth as they bid farewell to a beloved member of their community.
