Cold Comfort
Tidewater Funeral Home, Caldmere
Gordon Spence came to Tidewater Funeral Home to ask a simple question about the accounts. He left by ambulance. The question was never answered.
Everyone has something to hide.
48. Fourth-generation Driscoll funeral director. Has personally handled over a thousand funerals. Calm, empathetic, precise. Carries the specific loneliness of being the person everyone needs and no one wants to see.
76. Nate's mother. Ran Tidewater for 20 years before he took over. Frank, unsentimental, wryly funny. Says exactly what she thinks and has reached the age where no one can stop her.
The most talented performer in Caldmere and she knows it. Charismatic, competitive, insecure beneath the bravado. Funny in a way that occasionally draws blood.
