Steve died six hours after Lucy and Kevin arrived. His. funeral took place two days after his death. Lucy performed the services and counciled Patty-Mary. Kevin, Lucy, and Patty-Mary decided that it would be best for Patty to stay with Kevin and Lucy while her house was being sold.

"Do you think that she will be okay? If I lost you Lucy I wouldn't survive. I'd die from heartbreak!" exclaimed Kevin in a worried tone. "There is no doubt that it will take some counciling and time to help her but I doubt that this pain will ever heal. If I lost you I woulld crawl up in a hole and die!" cried Lucy.

"I think that the only way to solve this is to have her live with us until she can get her feet back on the ground. Patty was a stay at home mother. Steve's income was sufficient, but now she needs a job and she needs to take care of two kids. If it's okay with you I think that she should move in with us. We have three extra bedrooms."

"Of course I think it's a good idea for the time being. She could stay with us for a while and maybe after that she could move into the garage apartment."

As Lucy and Kevin start to ponder the idea more thouroughly they hear Patty-Mary come down the stairs.

"Patty we want to talk to you," Kevin said in a serious tone, "We think that you should move to Glenoak with us. Even after your house is sold. You are going to need a place to live and help with the kids. I bet that between Lucy and Reverand Camden's resources we could find you a job!"

"Kevin that's sweet but, I umm, well, I can't impose on you like that. You have already done too much for me. I cannot accept your generous offer."

"Patty please. If not for you than for me. I could use some extra help around the house and I am going to need practice for when I am a mother someday. I could help out with the kids and learn from them too." Lucy proposed.

"Well, let me think about it."

BACK AT THE CAMDEN HOME

"Eric, I have something I want to tell you and it cannot wait." Annie yelled into the telephone. She hated when Eric worked this late. Because Lucy was doing so much counciling with Patty Mary, Eric had to take over most of her other responsibilities.

"Annie I will be home as soon as I can. Can you tell me over the phone?" Eric said in a frustrated tone.

"Eric this cannot wait and I will not tell you on the phone. It is too important. Please come home."

"Annie I am working so you can live a nice life and give our kids the best. Leave me alone already!"

"Eric, I warned you and you still didn't understand. This is an emergency and even though I may not die right now, I might soon."

Eric heard a click on the other side of the telephone and she was gone.
