Preacher ”Um…ma’am?”

Lara ignores him as she walks up to Irwin and Sharon, who look up to see the personification of anger staring back at them.

Lara ”I forgive you.”

Lara’s eyes transition from anger to sorrow as she walks up to Howie, leaning down and giving him a hug.

Lara ”…Don’t take shit from anybody…including your parents.”

Irwin and Sharon hear the statement, but know not to respond.  Howie nods at Lara’s advice and Lara departs, walking back up the aisle, past the pew she was seated in, prompting Alice to stand up.

Alice ”Dana was gay!”

Alice shakes her head in disappointment as Lara stops, looking back at Alice.  Alice catches up to Lara and the two join hands, leaving the room.  The room is silent, save for the snickering from Gabby.

Gabby ”Score one for the good guys.”

As the funeral ends, everyone leaves to the entrance hall of the church.  Alice and Lara at standing against the wall, arms wrapped around one another with Alice against Lara’s chest.

Bette, Kit, Marina, Francesca, Shane, Carmen, and Mark join up together.

Bette ”So were we explicitly not invited back to the house?”

Kit ”Well, if you consider blood relations and family friends for more than fifteen years…huh.”

Carmen ”Why don’t we just go anyway?”

Francesca ”Why bother?  All of that self-righteousness would be enough to make me scream.”

Marina ”I think we would be better off without them.”

Carmen ”Yeah, but I mean…we haven’t said goodbye to her.”

Mark ”Maybe when this place empties out a bit, we can do that before they throw us out.”

Bette ”I’m gonna go home to be with my baby…especially since her other mother is taking her off this afternoon to be with her new man friend.”

Kit ”You be alright?”

Bette ”Yeah.”

The sisters Porter give each other a quick hug with Bette soon departing.

Marina ”We must be off as well.”

Francesca ”We’re still going over some of Blaikie’s expense records.  …Kit…really sorry about that.”

Kit ”Hey, don’t even worry about it.”

Marina and Francesca exit the church.

Later at the church, the place has emptied out with Dana’s urn still in the same place.  Together they wait, seated at the steps.  Shane, Tina, Helena, Kit, Carmen, Tonya and Mark all wait.
