Well, pity her if that's true- hunting season around here is brutal! (Palin would feel right at home). Thanks for the kind words, though- you are a dear.
(Pun intended).
I stopped looking for validation from her a long time ago, but it still rankles in that everything is playing out exactly as we girls have always thought it would. My sis Vicki has had a credit card for years now intended solely for the purpose of paying mom's burial expenses. She wasn't the kind of person who worried about such things, and we knew we'd be the ones to deal with it. In fairness to my brothers they have indicated that they don't want their share unless it's split equally, so Bobbi is dealing with the logistics on that. We'll see if they actually stick to it- I'm not holding my breath- but if they do, the insurance company will give the money to the person we designate (Bobbi) and she'll divvy it up after all estate expenses have been settled.
