I don't even know how to respond, Marion. I don't blame you for wanting to get it off your chest! What a horrible woman to disrespect your mother's body and her possessions!

I agree with the others who suggested it is never to late to have a talk with Mindy. I'm sure she will appreciate your understanding.

I showed Mindy the original post. She cried. She said that she is so glad that someone finally understands.

Mary talked to my hubby over the phone the other day, and she asked if I was mad at her for some reason. Gerry told her I was upset that she had touched mom’s body. Her response? “Marion is just being ignorant.”

I have also decided that if Mary ever brings up the subject, I’ll hand her a copy of the original post. I hope it hurts her feelings. Does that make me mean? Probably just a little. I can live with that.

It doesn't make you mean. it makes you NOT a pushover victim.

Ditto!!! ((((Marion))))

I probably would have grabbed or smacked her hand. if she had reached for my dead Mother......Of course, that's easy for me to say, in retrospect....and she is the grossly ignorant one..
