The small envelopes were passed out as he left the Bonney-Watson Funeral Home, where Ethel's memorial service had been held. The candy was so that everyone leaving would taste sweetness-not bitter. The quarter was for buying more candy on the way home- a traditional token of lasting life and enduring happiness.”
