After Ida Jenkins passed away, the Garden Club sort of disbanded, which was not good news for Still Meadows. For a while, Norma and her friends volunteered one day a month to do cleanup, but, eventually, a lot of people moved away or dropped out, and people wound up just tending their own families’ graves.

When the local bank closed down, Arvis Oberg, who owned the Rest Assured Funeral Home, had been put in charge of the Still Meadows corporation account, and after twelve years, was tired of fooling with it. It was a lot of paperwork, and most of his customers were now going to the new cemetery. He talked it over with his wife, and they decided to just sell off the remaining plots and be done with it.

When Cathy Calvert came into the newspaper office the next morning, she read the ad Arvis wanted to run in the Friday edition.

Cathy did not agree with Arvis’s assumption that a cemetery plot would make a good gift, but Arvis was one of her regular advertisers, so what could she do?
