" Mr. Hall , arrangements at the Funeral Home and Cemetery are complete . " Gary nodded , though his eyes remained moist . The assistant murmured work - related matters beside Gary . Unable to follow the details , I focused entirely on comforting Sweetie . " Sweetie can't see Mama now , but Mama will always watch over you .
