any family ?

Please, would you tell me

if something's wrong ?

I'm so sorry.

Miss henley passed away.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

We're so sorry, ma'am.

When did it happen ?

3:
45 this, uh, morning.

Why didn't someone tell me ?

I-I was here. They saw me,

I was waiting.

I was there, waiting.

We're so sorry.

- Ma'am,

Does she, uh--

Does she have

any next of kin ?

"next of kin" ?

We need to call somebody

to find out what to do

with the remains.

I'll give you the number

for them to call, okay ?

Dear, there's a chapel

on the third floor,

If you'd like to just go there

and sit for a little bit.

Well, can I see her ?

Oh, dear,

I'm sorry, they already

took her body downstairs.

We are so sorry.

Sh*t.

[ woman ] hello ?

[ Edith ] hello. May I speak

to Ted Henley, please ?

Who's this ?

- This is Edith Tree.

I'm the-- a friend

of his Aunt Abigail.

Oh !

Uh, hold on, please.

Ted !

hello ?

- Hello, Ted.

This is Edith Tree.

I'm the friend

of your Aunt Abby.

Sure. Hello.

- I'm afraid--

I'm so sorry.

Your aunt passed away

this morning.

Oh, well, geez.

Well, how'd it happen ?

Well, she had a terrible fall

last night, and apparently

she had a stroke,

And they tried to revive her,

but this morning she was gone.

Oh, geez,

I'm-I'm sorry

that happened.

Now,

Her remains are still

at the hospital,

And I have the number

you will have to call.

Okay. Let me

just get a pencil.

And if I can be

of any help for you

to arrange the service--

Sure, that would

be terrific.

Uh, I guess I'd better

come out there then.

Let me just jot a few more

things down here.

Edith, I'm--

Edith, I'm sorry-- what's

your last name again ?

Uh, tree.

Sweetheart, let's--

Stop that.

You know, I think that

that was a very nice service.

It sure was.

It was very respectful.

Well--

There we go.

Well, I expect

you're hungry.

I'll make some tea.

No, we're fine.

- No, no.

Why don't you two sit down.

No, no, I'll do it.

You can go over

your aunt's papers.

I'll make the tea.

I'm sure I can find

my way around.

The kitchen

is this way ?

I went all around the house

and dug up everything

I could find,

But Abby was

never very organized

about these things.

She sure wasn't.

I found this photograph

of you and aunt abby.

Geez,

I don't remember this.

It was the first visit

you and your parents made...

To... Us,

- mm-hmm.

And aunt abby

took you fishing

for the first time.

Uh-huh.

You were afraid to put

the bait on the hook.

Oh, oh, oh. Right.

And she showed you

how to do it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I remember that hat.

Huh.

Well, okey-doke,

let's see what we have here.

- please !

Don't touch those, dear.

They're very fragile.
