Such a sad episode, one thinks of justice happening for Jonathan and a happy ending, such an unhappy and downward ending for Sheryl, I think God somehow never want us to somehow give up hope, people can be yuk. Thanks for sharing, I can only pray for jonathon, blessings Roy

However, life continues on.
"I have trouble believing you agree with this," I have not had much to do with disabled people, so I am very pleased to read that the younger generation is willing to help and accept them, I am disgusted at the lengths some will go to at the expense of others, (mobile phone) Sheryl and Jonathon are very lucky people to have a friend in you, though your life seems full, you find some space for those who need, so very well written****kahpot

A touching post and your kindness and dedication shows through in your dedication to this family, both Jonathan and his Mother have benefited from your good heart Wendy. It is disgusting that a member of the family stole Sheryl's phone the moment she died and continued to use it! I am shocked. Then others tried to benefit from her death. The cockroaches come out of the woodwork don't they?

It happened when my Mother died, my brother had a key to her house and stripped it of anything valuable before anyone else could get their hands on her stuff. I did not retain one thing belonging to my Mother. He even complained that I was to inherit an equal share and thank goodness a solicitor was involved to oversee the proceedings following my Mother's death. It was all very upsetting and cruel. I shall never forget his cruel emails to me as he wanted me dead.

I am glad that Jonathan has you to support him and look after his interests Wendy, we live in a cruel world full of avaricious people and you are one in a million.

Love Dolly x x x

    Thank you so much Dolly for this beautiful review. Thank you too for the generous gift of six stars. So very encouraging.
    However I am so sad that you experienced such incredible hurt by your brother. Death, and wills, always seem to make people greedy and show their worst side. To wish you dead?! Unbelievable! Yes, the cockroaches come out of the woodwork, for sure.

    I have forgiven my brother because he was grieving the same as me, but the whole business was dealt with like a cut-throat business transaction, it was hurtful at the time, but I am over it now, thank you for your kind comments Wendy, love Dolly x

    That's good. I am glad. It would have been so hurtful, but he obviously was processing his distress differently ....

Oh my, Wendy...

Sheryl's passing is such sad news. Once again you stepped up not only for Jonathan, but for his mom.

How could the two of you not become close with Jonathan's welfare as your common bond?

Bless you for giving her eulogy, dealing with her will and the inevitable "takers" of this world...

It sounds like through this period, Jonathan was settled and the involved...

Good grief...

Why do I sense this feeding tube issue is going to come up again?

Your heart is so big!

Karenina
