It sounds like one of my brother's wives, the one the rest of us refer
to as our bitch in law. She was upset that my mother did not leave her
pearls to their daughter, maybe upset that she had given them to another
sister in law who she never liked. My mother always tried to be fair
and she had given her jewellery to her four daughters is law. She didn't
leave any to grandsons so it would not be fair to leave something for
her grand daughter. The bitch in law tried to interfere in my mother's
estate a few times and was told to mind her own business. Now she is in
a snit and doesn't talk to any of us. Next week it will be 4 years since
I last saw her and she lives less than 3 miles from us.
