A birth, a funeral: it's business as usual

The Adams family spent some time rebuilding their farm.



  


The Adams retirement home had some renovations done on the inside, and now has an extra room - with a bit of an awkward corridor leading to the second bathroom.



Judith Adams moved in here. Poor Judith, she hasn't had an easy life. First she lost her husband to a mummy curse, then her daughter spontaneously combusted.


Daniel and Sofia Harrell live on the same floor as Judith. So does Regina (Thao) Mendez.
The Thao twins share the attic.


Elsewhere in town, Sheila and Roger Adams had a little girl. Judith's first great-granddaughter.



Michael and Layla still live in the same house. Here's a random picture of their daughter Nena.

It was only a matter of time before there would be another death on the island, of course. Both Harmony Bernard and her sister Regina Mendez were well in their 90's.

So it wasn't a surprise to anyone when Harmony quietly passed away in her sleep in the first days of

Yves, of course, was heartbroken.



They decided to have an elaborate funeral. After all, Harmony was known and loved by everyone on the island. She had no enemies at all, and over 50 good friends.
Yves delivered a heart-felt, very moving eulogy for his beloved wife.




And then there was some shocking news. On the day of Harmony's funeral, her sister Regina had passed away as well! Her family were shocked and devastated.



The funeral turned into a double funeral. Colleen took it especially hard. She had a great relationship with her mother-in-law.


Harmony and Regina are buried close together, near the graves of their parents Samantha and Tom. And close to the third triplet, Terra (who was crushed by a Murphy bed some time ago.)

And just for the sake of nostalgia: this is a picture of Harmony and Regina in Mesa Valley, when they were children.
