Talking about parents....my mom, I haven't talked much about her. She passed away January 21, 1990. I have often wondered about her death. My dad passed away February 2, 1986...on his 69th birthday. My mom remarried January 1989. I didn't know the man she married...never met him...wasn't invited to the 'wedding'. The first time that I met this man was at the mortuary. When I was trying to make the arrangements (this man didn't have a pot to piss in) and it looked like I was footing most of the bill, I asked about an autopsy. You would have thought that I had taken a shot at this man the way he jumped up out of his seat and saying 'no autopsy-no autopsy' . I was also told that I had no business being there but it sure was OK for me to pay the bills. My dad had left my mom secure but there was no money...accounts had been cleaned out. They had been married exactly 1 year and 2 weeks. Under the laws in Utah where they lived I could not have an autopsy with out her husbands consent...it was refused. Her new husband wanted half of all properties. My dad had left my mom with a new home completely paid for, a nice bank account, new pickup and 5th wheel. I will always wonder if this man didn't have a hand in my moms death. He didn't get any of the house, there was no money in the bank or the pick-up but he did end up with the 5th wheel. Before he came and picked up the trailer...I striped it clean...no propane tanks...not even a light bulb left in it.
