[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 134103, member: 1233"] I am so very sorry. I remember the pain of the accusations when my Gma died. My cousins had NEVER called her gma (she was the 2nd wife) nor had they been very nice to her. Courteous IF they had to, but mostly ignored her or slighted her if they could get away with it. One cousin had a thing for a ringstand I bought for my Gma. With BABYSITTING $$ WHEN I WAS 15!!! It was in the will that I got it. But my cousing actually tried to sue for it. I really don't understand this. The cousins mostly got first pick of stuff because we didn't really care but for a few items. And those were specifically mentioned in the will. My dad's side deals much better. Only fight was making my aunt take the house. She wanted to divide it between the 2 kids. BUT she moved in and took care of my gma on that side. So the boys (dad and uncle to me) did a move and just put the house in her name before Gma died. After that, they took turns with who got what. But they DID leave the basement with my aunt. She started mailing the boxes of their old toys, papers, report cards to them - AFTER she scanned the old report cards and sent them electronically to all their kids. Payback is sometimes very funny. My dad flunked kindergarten, LOL!!! I just know my bro and I won't fight over the stuff, we pull together in times like that. I don't care about money, or most of the stuff. A few keepsakes would be nice, and the will should read: "Being of sound mind and body we spent every red cent!" That would mean they lived as fully as they could. It would make me very happy. My bro too! I am sorry your family is so hurtful. I hope that time will help you heal. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
