    The only great thing their mother ever did was gave birth to them, all five at the same time.
    She never had much time for them as they were growing up, but after five marriages she sticked with the man she had.
    Their fifth father died only a couple of months ago, and their mother couldn’t handle the grief and passed away herself only a week ago.
    “I heard she will share a grave with her late husband.”, Chloe said while she watched her mother’s casket being put on the lift.
    Claire looked over to there other four sisters that were sitting to her right, “I heard she wanted to get a face lift before they would bury her, is that true?”
    Her sisters faces turned back to the ceremony taking place in front of them without saying a word.
    “I heard she will be buried face down.”, Chloe said as the priest took his place at the foot of the casket.
    “Face down?” Calli asked.
    “Yes, on top of her husband.”, Chloe explained after blowing her nose.
    They all stood up and were standing next to each other in a line, the priest began to say the prayer while the casket lowered into the grave.
    “We therefore commit her body to the deep, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust..”
    Cleo bowed forward and directed her thought towards Chloe, “I wonder if they made an agreement on who gets to be on top.”
    “Through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
    They all threw a handful of dirt into the grave and stayed until the cemetery workers closed up the grave.
    The five girls were standing by their parents grave, Caylie read the inscription out loud, “She kept the passion alive.”
