It Doesn't Get Any Easier (Day 134)

We return to Del Sol Valley, where Soleil is practising her piano  


When she receives a saddening phone call... 

Mateo Armstrong has passed away 


She sadly breaks the news to her cousin that her Father has passed away, and she quickly puts her feelings into cooking 


Soleil decides to set up a memorial on the balcony for her Uncle 


And then goes inside to check up on Katherine - she's still cooking to try and keep her mind busy 


Soleil gets changed ready for the memorial, which they're holding at the house 


And Katherine finally finishes cooking and gets changed too 


Katherine takes a moment alone to mourn her father


And then greets the rest of the family, who have come to give their love and condolences to the family 


Penny, Libby and Hope sit down with the cousins to talk, telling stories and cheering each other up 


While Josette goes over to the easel and paints 


Everyone shares their sympathies with Hope 


And eat the food that Katherine has prepared 


The family walk around and talk, keeping spirits up and sharing jokes and stories about Mateo 


And we find this memorial doubling up, as beloved dog Teddy has also passed away! 

RIP Teddy 


Katherine and Hope share a moment together 


Katherine asks her Mother if she will be okay living alone, and she assures her that she will 


Inside, Armstrong checks up on his little sister, knowing that she was particularly close with their Uncle 


As the day wears on, the rest of the family head home 


Leaving Mateo's sister, niece, wife and daughter to discuss what to do next 


Josette makes a suggestion 


And Hope and Katherine agree 


They head to the beach in Brindleton Bay, Mateo's prime fishing spot, to remember him and scatter his ashes 


They sit down together, looking out over the sea 


Remembering Mateo 


The family place Mateo's grave down on the beach, so that he can remember the good memories he had there 


Then it's time to head home 


Where, happy with the way her Father was remembered today, Katherine drifts off to sleep 


And that's the end of another day, a sad day, in Del Sol Valley 

RIP Mateo Armstrong and Teddy! 

What will happen next? 


Find out next time!
