Susie, I am so sorry about what happened. Please except my condolences.

The book sounds wonderful. My DH lost his father when he was 11 and it is very difficult. He cherishes every memory.
:hug:

With love,
Nancy
 
my thoughts and prayers with you and son and family during this time of loss..may God comfort you and bring you peace
 
My heart is saddened to read of your loss. Hugs and prayers and may God the Heavenly Father, be so very close to your family at this time of grief. It really was a bit of "joy" in your story that the last memory Stone has will be one of a loving father wanting to be with him and sharing the last few days together. It just reminded me how much God does love us even in times of trials.
My sympathy to all and may your love for one another (family, friends) help as you "just get through" the next few days.

So sorry for your loss, Susie. I'm just seeing this now. Much hugs and prayers go out to you, Stone and Virgil's family. :grouphug:
 
I really appreciate all the kind emails and words from you girls.

Pray for us. The family is being horrid.

Home Depot gave Stone the wooden models out of his dad's locker on Saturday when we went by before the funeral and we were going to put them together yesterday after church....

you won't believe this.....Stone has been ignored for a couple of days but that is okay - he doesn't realize, but yesterday...

one of the brother in laws called and demanded that I return any and all of the items I removed from Virgil's locker at Home Depot (which I didn't do) and blah, blah, blah....by the end of the day. It was horrid. I had to explain to his son, that we had to give those items back and that he couldn't even have the magic marker that came out of the locker. Tears, Tears, Tears.

I called Virgil's best friend who is an attorney and will be the trustee of the estate (insurance money) left to Stone. He has called hem and said they have no right to do that. I am returning everything to him today. I asked him to tell them that they are not welcomed to call, come by, visit or anything (if they ever decide to) .....I could tell more, but I just do not trust them.

Stone can't even get out his East Bake oven that was in his dad's room.

Can you imagine?

Thanks for letting me vent.


I have to have my will redone today and redo school emergency forms, etc. and then I guess I need to find an attorney. My CPA is going to help me understand this trust stuff.
 
More prayers for you and Stone. I am sorry you are going through this additional grief.:hug:
 
The biggest problems for weddings AND funerals are ALWAYS family - its so sad. :hug: for you and a special:hug: for Stone. (And personally I bet they don't know everything that was there:rolleyes1 but I'm just a bad person, I guess :guilty: )
 
oh Susie i'm so sorry you have to go through this extra "crap". we will certainly keep you in our prayers. like NEE said, just one day at a time.
all of our love to you and Stone. we will be thinking of you and sending good thoughts today and everyday. :hug:
 
I realize that everyone deals with grief differently, but lashing out at family is NOT acceptable. I am so sorry they are doing this to you and Stone. Thankfully he has you on his side.
I don't know anything about legal stuff, so I can't give any advice there.
Let me know if I can help with anything else though.
 
what an awful thing to do to Stone, people can be so petty and cruel. Know we are here for you both, so vent away when you need to. sending you both BIG :hug:

Susie that is awful that Stone is dealing with that.. Good for you to contact the Trustee of his will.. please don't let those type of people get to you.. They are selfish and always forget about the important people in Virgil's life..and of course that would be you and especially Stone... You did nothing wrong...nor did Stone and you know that.. it's the BIL being a petty jerk...I agree with NO more contact with them.. I wouldn't either.. inquire w/ the trustee and see if it comes down to it if he can help you or point you to the right person to help you get a protective order against them if the need arises.. I know grief is handled differently but the focus should be on Stone..and how he is doing not being petty brats like they are now...
 
My heart is broken for you and Stone. Sounds like you had some beautiful final moments with Virgil. I am so sorry for your loss. It is awful how Virgil's family is behaving. I will keep you all in my prayers. May God give you strength, peace, and hope to get through this.
 
Susie I'm sorry you are dealing with all that garbage from family. You have us for family though so that more than makes up for it! Don't let them push you around. Also I was thinking about it today, talk to the Trustee about Social Security Death Benefits, Stone might qualify. I know DH did until he was 18.
Don't say anything to his family and if they call you only refer them to your attorney. They will try to goad you into saying stuff and getting mad, don't do it. Did you have a lawyer for custody when you and Virgil got divorced? If so I would contact them too, you don't want his family trying to take Stone away.
Crazy things happen from grief, DH's family tried to say MIL killed FIL when he passed away. The oldest son 26 years DH's senior actually went to law school hell bent on proving she did it or had him killed. Stupid stupid stupid! FIL's former wife also tried to take the Social Security Death Benefits by filing first, MIL had to go down to the SS office with divorce papers from the other wife and her marriage cert. and DH's birth cert.

Hang tight and know that we are here for you!!!!
 
Susie, our love and prayers are with you and Stone, I am sorry you have to have additional trauma in your life right now, but know that by being an unselfish ex and keeping your son together with his father as much as you seemed to, you have taught your son a beautiful life lesson-he will always know he was loved by both parents!
