‘Tonight we walk down Cemetery Road and picnic in the Cemetery,’
Billy B. said. Halloween is a great night of remembrance for those who have passed over,’ Billy B. continued. ‘This is the night when the dead return for a spot of tea and crumpets,’ Billy B. laughed.

‘I will bring the Merlot and the Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs that
Chet eats directly from the package,’ Neva J smiled. ‘We will also have plenty of candy and Ketel One Vodka for Dirty Martinis,’ Neva J winked. ‘I have heard that the ghosts of the dead walk freely among the tomstones on Halloween night,’ Neva J shuddered. ‘I would love to talk with Grandma A or Dutch,’ Neva J said softly. ‘Dutch died in World War II or at least went missing, never to be found,’ Neva J recalled. ‘Grandma A passed away in the 60s,’ Neva J wiped a tear from her eye. ‘Earl died in 2001 from a major heart attack,’ Neva J remembered. ‘I was with MJ and Jay for some time after that and Aaron and Jonathon,’ Neva J laughed nervously. ‘MJ made the best Malt-O-Meal and Jay the best coffee, both so sweet, and they were sweet also,’Neva J mentioned. ‘I have lived in the beautiful place for 12 years,’ Neva J reflected. ‘I watch the lives of MJ Jay Aaron and Jonathon, but when I speak to them, they often do not answer,’ Neva J observed. ‘I have everything I want here, and Bill and I are back together after our long separation, Neva J smiled peacefully.

‘It is great seeing you, Sis,’ Dutch said to his sister Neva J. ‘You have not aged,’ Dutch observed. ‘You are still 16 and fresh as the morning dew,’ Dutch said to Neva J. ‘I got lost in the war,’ Dutch said. ‘I could hear our Mom praying for me, but I could not reach her,’ Dutch said with tears. But here we are together again, and I do not recall where I was before seeing you,’ Dutch said with laughter. ‘I recall the Nazi guns firing at me as I cowered in a foxhole and a long period where I tried to return home,’ Dutch said with sadness. ‘I could see Mom in her rocking chair, reading her Bible and praying for my safe return. She died not knowing what happened to me,’ Dutch observed sadly.

‘Welcome, all, we have been renewing old acquaintances here in the Cemetery,’ Grandma A told the kids. ‘Our worlds are one in so many ways,’ Grandma A noted. ‘Time is fluid and what is lost now is not so later, ‘Grandma A noted. ‘On Halloween night, the Veil is wide open and we visit together,’ Grandma A said with a hearty laugh.
