Is there anyone you know we can contact to make the funeral arrangements?" Cal asked. "I'll take care of it. She might have relatives somewhere, but I don't know where they'd be." "Well, the county coroner will be ready to release the body later this afternoon." "Have them call Sanderson's. I'll let them know to expect her." Cal got up slowly until his full six-three frame was erect and handed his cup to Cate. "Appreciate it, ma'am. You be careful, Jo. And let me know if you think of anything I should know." Rising from my chair, I shook his hand. After Cal left, I located a phone book and looked up the number for Sanderson's Funeral Home, trying to imagine what kind of funeral Lena would like. It took about twenty minutes for me to discuss it with the funeral director. Since there wouldn't be many people attending, I opted for a simple graveside service. But at the last minute I asked the director if he could round up a mariachi group for the service. She would have liked that. That and a few beers.
