"Must have been the leukemia..."
"...pneumonia ..."
"... that, or maybe a mix..."
"... but she had such poor health, we might never know..."
He listens to his more distant relatives as they chatter and discuss. They are uncaring, except for the interest in finding out what really happened. Where is her body? Where would she go on her own? And with such poor health! She shouldn't have been allowed out of bed!
