W: Hi, Tim. I’m really sorry to hear about your dad. My sincerest condolences go out to you and your family. He was such a great man.
M: Thanks. As you know, he [5] had been sick for some time before he passed away, so [5] we were somewhat prepared.
W: So, how’s your mom taking it?
M: Oh, it’s been really hard on her. I don’t think you get over something like that.

W: So, what are the funeral arrangements?
M: Well, some of the family members will get together on [7] Tuesday morning for a private memorial service, but there will be a [7] viewing in the afternoon from 2:00 to 3:00, followed by the funeral service. One of my uncles will be giving the eulogy.

W: Really? I’d be honored.
M: It would really mean a lot to the family.
W: Sure. Then, see you on Tuesday.
M: Okay, see you then.
