Unexpected Guest

John’s Revelation
John explained, “I reached out to Rowley’s old friends. That man is a close friend of Rowley’s. He wanted to be here to honor Rowley’s memory. He didn’t know about the reserved seat.” Jennifer’s anger turned to understanding as she realized how many lives Rowley had touched.
