Shane felt bad for Barbara too. The woman already lost her only child, and now her husband. Barbara was always so nice to him, to everyone, she didn't deserve that. Instead of being upset that Shane had moved on from Diane, Barbara had been happy for him. He had no doubt that not only would Sissy hold him to his promise of growing old with her, but she'd also offer a comforting shoulder for Barbara to cry on.<br/><br/>At Walter's funeral, Sissy did not disappoint her. She hadn't even known Diane's father, but Shane knew his wife's tears were sincere. Shane hoped that man had found some peace from his demons and was with Diane again.<br/><br/>Barbara was surprised but happily returned Sissy's hug. Shane's mother had been right when she told Barbara that Sissy was a special kind of girl. Very sweet and caring. Barbara replied.<br/><br/>"Thank you, dear. I wish that too."<br/><br/>She hadn't want to intrude on Shane's new life. Although she had always liked him and still cared about him. She wasn't sure how much he or Sissy would want to be reminded about Diane by her presence. So she had politely kept her distance, calling up Shane's mother once in a while to chat. Shane nodded his head to Sissy when she looked at him.<br/><br/>Barbara was surprised at Sissy's offer.<br/><br/>"Are you sure? I mean...You don't know me."<br/><br/>'And I'm his dead ex's mother,' Barbara thought to herself. While she certainly should not be alone, she didn't really expect to be offered to little stay at Shane and Sissy's new house.<br/><br/>"We're sure."<br/><br/>Shane said, although he had feeling Sissy would have to be the one to convince Barbara. There were somethings that his wife was much better at them him. Shane was sure this would be one of them. He looked over and saw Diane's tombstone. Walter was going to be buried next to his daughter. Although when her body had been brought back to her parents for burial, Walter and Barbara had them carve Diane's maiden name on her stone. It said 'Diane Simcox, beloved daughter'. Not 'Diane Hayes', her married name and no mention of her being a wife. He thought that was a good choice as he looked sadly at it.
