The morgue door opened again, and my father, Elder Richard Stone, entered with several other family elders. Their faces were solemn, eyes red-rimmed with grief.

My father approached the body slowly, his usual commanding presence diminished by sorrow. He placed a weathered hand on my grandmother's forehead in a traditional gesture of respect.
