There is just one thing that bothers me about all this, and I swear I am not trying to pick a fight.<BR/><BR/>But how did she hear that you were upset about the use of your mother's home?

We spent the next 2 years helping Dad with her and she passed away. When it came time for the funeral I got the great pleasure (NOT) of finally meeting my husband's sister.
