One day while ashore from his trading, Orlando brought up the subject of children. He thought it was time to expand the family.
In little time, Abigail was pregnant.
Gwen was so delighted that she insisted on painting Abigail’s portrait (as the daughter who was continuing the line).
Gwen was beginning to age. She spent a lot of the day sleeping and started to become senile (forgetting tasks she’d been busy with or just wondering off). The family started to sense something was wrong. Talin was sure to spend as much time with her as possible. Abigail never left her side.
Gwen wanted nothing more than to see the birth of her first grandchild. She got her wish. While the family was sitting reading one evening, Abigail went into labour.
She also gave birth to twins! A boy (“Simon”) and a girl (“Anita”).
The family was so busy celebrating the birth of the twins that they didn’t notice another presence in the room… the Grim Reaper.
It was Talin who first noticed him and started crying uncontrollably.
Slowly everyone else noticed as well.
The Grim Reaper had arrived with some hula girls and offered Gwen a cocktail as he escorted her to the afterlife.
Gwen’s dying wish had been for a tree (specifically one that cost more than $200) so Talin granted it by planting a weeping willow at the end of the property. Gwen was laid to rest beneath it.
When her will was read, Talin received a large sum of money, both Abigail and Elizabeth did too (Abigail received $100 more than Elizabeth though, something Elizabeth would never forget), Gwen’s friend from her days at the tavern received a lump sum as well and the rest went to tiny Simon who had known his gran for mere seconds but was now the heir to her legacy.
