The coffin for Dottie Fairchild was slowly lowered into the grave at Cedar Grove Cemetery, and the Pastor who had led the funeral services finished the ceremony with prayer. "Dear God, as we stand beside this open grave, in this silent city of the dead, we commit this body to the ground, and we commit the spirit, together with every sacred interest of our hearts, into your keeping, praying that you will deal graciously and mercifully with each of us, until we too shall come to our final resting place, through the riches of grace in Jesus our Lord. Amen "

Mourners returned to their cars, some taking their time to pay their final respects to the deceased. Those who were Tales were invited to the Pen for a wake in the lounge. An assortment of finger foods were set out, along with a bowl of punch. Some of the flowers from the funeral home had been brought over, and lined the walls, along with a framed photo of Dottie as most people remembered her, alive and vivacious, with a smile on her face.
