I met Daphne one evening. We chatted, and she gave me her card. D.Mure, Funeral Director. 

Now, we meet often. I feel calm in her presence. She has just one expression, neither happy nor sad. Perfect for her vocation. 

She has a lovely daughter, Merry. I’ve always wondered why she chose that name. If she was hoping for some merriment to brighten her demure lifestyle, her wish came true.
