Ralph Follett, Jay's somewhat unstable brother, makes the phone call that draws Jay away from his home on the night he is
killed, and then has to live with the guilt.
Mary's brother Andrew goes to investigate the accident.
Because Jay was not christened a Catholic, he has been denied the full rites, much to Mary's dismay.
Mary, Rufus, and Aunt Hannah set out for the funeral of Rufus's father, Jay.
Rufus ultimately becomes the "man of the family," and is allowed to wear the cap bought for him by Aunt Hannah
Mary and her father, Joel Lynch (James Cromwell), after the funeral.
