Karen says Edna and her baby passed away three-quarters of an hour before Roy (their father's) funeral. A terrible week for the family with three funerals in four days. This doesn't make sense because Roy's death date is 1 day after Edna and 2 days after Garry's death. More likely that Roy passed away three-quarters of an hour before either Edna or Garry's funeral.
