Farewell Leroy

Written by Michelle

Tanya

Tanya looked at the coffin on display in the hall, swallowing hard. It had been four days since their wedding. Four days of being a widow.

She didn't like that word much at all.

Wayne was up there, giving the eulogy. Someone, she wasn't sure who now, had asked her, but she didn't trust herself so she declined. She couldn't even concentrate on what he was saying.

Why were all these people here anyway? Okay well, his family, yeah, they could be here. That was fine. But what about all those other people? Just because Leroy was a national figure they thought they had a right to attend his funeral? Just because they so happened to work in for YIRAAS as well they thought they could be here? Leroy probably didn't even know half of these people, what right did they have?

Sam Braddock was up there now, giving his eulogy.

Tears dribbled down her cheeks.
