The Duncan family loves their businesses. Shirley and her son Ronald, started a home business Lures 'N Mates. Their daughter Gladys, just left for university with her boyfriend, Karl Morrison, another up and coming business man and now it looks as if one of the twins also wants to work the family business. That leaves Susan a lot of free time. Free time and Susan can only mean trouble.
Everyone had noticed that Shirley seemed just a little more tired lately, but everyone just passed it off as her working too hard. They didn't realize that it was her time until it was too late. (Blogger's Note: Shirley is the first of the founding sims to reach the end of her life).
Shirley seemed to be quite happy to be on her way. She never reached her lifetime want of owning 5 top level businesses, but she did see the home business she started, Lures 'N Mates, reach rank 6.
Her son Ronald inherited the business and was very upset by his mother's death. In a rare moment of compassion for her husband, wife Susan consoled him.
Even the cat Spot was in mourning over Shirley's death.
Shirley was often the only one that paid attention to Spot, especially after Gladys had left for college.
In order for the house to obtain some closure, they moved Shirley's remains to the Stratfordshire Cemetery. This way all her family and friends would be able to mourn her passing.
The Duncan family tried to get on with their lives. Spot found a new friend, in the form of April Morgan. April would often accompany her owners during their visits to Lures 'N Mates.
Speaking of the Morgan's. Seems like Ross has been getting ill a lot lately. Ronald removed the grill at Lures 'N Mates, but he didn't think it was anything Ross ate. None of the other customers were getting sick. Still, Ross was one of his best customers, so Ronald removed the grill all the same.
And Jeffrey used the money he inherited from his grandmother to purchase his first business. A clothing store he called The Majestic Wardrobe.
Round 4 Summary: Shirley passed away and left the business to Ronald. Susan was promoted to freelance photographer and Jeffrey purchased his first business, The Majestic Wardrobe. Spot made a new friend and James hung out with old ones.
