Chapter 283 Soos 'N Engel

• Someone once said nothing brings people closer than a common enemy. But, in Carol Scheepers' case, nothing brought her neighbours closer than their grief and morbid fascination with her death.
• She wasn't a good neighbour or the best mom in the world. But she was one of their own. Warts and all. So when they learned that Anthea, barely surviving on minimum wage, couldn't afford a decent funeral, they rallied together to give Carol a proper send-off at St Michael's, the run-down Anglican Church three streets away from the Scheepers' home.
• The service was scheduled for 9:00 AM, but Marybeth wanted to get there early to give Adeline a private moment with her mom.
