What We Were Worth.

                                         Pat finally posted Gary's online obituary from Lindsey-Kocher Funeral Home in Willard, Ohio.   This is the most upsetting written tribute to his memory.  No picture of him, just a picture of candles.  Even though I was always told how I was like a daughter to them, I was never mentioned.  The kids were only mentioned and Jeff was mentioned only for his death.   My family was upset and hurt along with me.  My friend who just lost her daughter "Connie" was the only one who told me that Gary truly loved me like a daughter as well as she and her family did as well,  that was nice and I thanked her.
                                       You really know how much you are worth when someone dies.  I found that out a long time ago when my grandfather died and how his wife (Step-grandma) treated all of us.  To make a long story short, we were treated bad, especially my mom.   I will give credit to Linda in honoring Jeff and remembering us and sharing how it was really Gary who cared about us and loved us, Jeff meant so much to him and them.  What Linda told me, well that meant more to me than anything else.   My mom said it ''Pat disrespected Jeff by not mentioning me, when everyone else was mentioned because I was his wife".  I guess after all these years, I'm used to it.
I mean 'Why should anything change"
                                       I want to thank my family, Linda and those like Schizz who had thought of us and  cared about us for all we had gone through.  Your love and kindness mean so much more than anything here on earth.   Love you all!
