Based on the story provided, here's my assessment:

1. **Tragedy Degree**:
   - The story details Marissa's emotional journey as she remembers her late sister, Julia. While there's a deep sense of loss, the narrative also focuses on the gratitude and cherished memories she holds. The emotional weight is present but not overwhelming, as the story ends on a note of peace and resolution.
   
2. **Comedy Degree**:
   - The story is predominantly reflective and emotional, with very few, if any, light-hearted or comedic elements. The primary focus is on nostalgia and remembrance rather than humor or joy.

Given these observations, the scores are assigned as follows:

```json
{
  "TragedyDegree": 5,
  "ComedyDegree": 1
}
```

This reflects a balance of emotional depth and reflective content, with minimal comedic aspects.
