Absolutely, ever so true I even turned the other cheek and opened the door at the funeral and spoke to these people at his funneral, though, sadly after my father in-law was cremated, and to this day 6 years later they have not required after his remains. My husband no longer speaks to them. I did try opening the door but they didn't want to know. Guess things happen in other families also. Hugs and blessings and warm regards my first and loyal friend on poetry soup.hope you are well, Paul
