Church Sketch

n years past this elderly couple has always sat in the front with their adult Down's Syndrome daughter.
When we came back this year I did not see them until this Sunday. The mother was looking very frail, but worse, their daughter was not with them.
I wonder what happened in their life since last year.
When you go to the same church and sit in the same pews you become familiar with the people around you (who also sit in the same pews).
