Julia gently places Delia's stillborn baby in a shoebox, wraps it with paper and string, and labels it Garrett, for Delia's last name. Julia hopes the father will pick up the body, otherwise it will go to the church cemetery, where there is a mass grave. This is not an issue, because there is no need for a birth or death certificate for a stillborn.
