Sadie had passed away and her funeral services are being held at Greenlawn cemetery. Morris, her husband for over forty years, had tears in his eyes. At the end of the service, as the coffin was being wheeled out, the trolley accidentally bumped into the doorframe and jarred the coffin. To everyone’s total shock, they heard a faint moaning coming from the coffin. They quickly opened it and found that Sadie was alive. Wonder of wonders — a miracle if there ever was one.
Sadie and Morris lived together for ten more years and then Sadie died. The ceremony was again held at Greenlawn. At the end of the service, as the coffin was being wheeled out on the trolley, Morris shouted out, “Watch out, don’t hit the doorframe again!”
