It was not my intention to make you feel ganged up on. I apologize if that is the way you took it. I merely wanted to point out that some the e-mails you send can come across as a little demanding and I don't feel that is the best way to approach the situation. We are all just as confused and reeling from this situation as you are. I wish you could just explain why the need is so urgent to get this all done right now. Maybe that would help everyone to understand what the urgency is. I had no intentions of making things worse, but at the time, felt I needed to put my thoughts down for everyone to know what my feelings are. That is, mainly to get through this without the family falling apart and no hard feeling when it is done. I don't think that can happen with the way things are going right now. I came home today, after a very nice weekend of camping, and your e-mail was just about the last thing I wanted to see when I got home. I cringe everytime I see one, afraid of what it will contain. I responded in a fit of emotions and that was clearly not the right thing to do. I don't think that not speaking is going to make anything any better. We just need to communicate in a way that is not demanding or threatening and everything will work out in due time. No one is ganging up on you and ignoring the issues. Details are being dealt with, it just takes time. I'm sure we will all receive the necessary back-up that we will need in due time. Maybe we should just take a step back and realize what exactly this is that we are dealing with. It is hard for everyone and that should be all the more reason to communicate in a calm and curteous manner.

I will send the form tomorrow. I have been attempting to get DETAILS on what is going on to try to make sense of all of this. Now, both Karen and Sandy think I am accusing all of some sort of conspiracy. It is truly pitiful. Look back through my emails. I have not accused anyone of anything except lack of attention to details or expression of what all want to do. All the details have to be dealt with. It is not a lie that I need the backup paperwork, if you would like to call my security office, I can get the number for you tomorrow. I am not in a rush - I don't have any urgent or fragile financial situation. The rest of you don't seem to get it at all. I am tired of trying to reach any kind of consensus. The only consensus that seems to have been achieved is to gang up on me and ignore the issues. Fine. You guys have the majority - you win. You figure out what to do and do it. I have not forgotten any detail of Mom's will. I have not forgotten there is not a headstone. I have not forgotten that we no longer have parents. My attempts at trying to share in some of the upcoming responsibilities has turned into way more headache than I can handle. Take my name off the distribution - I don't really give a crap anymore.
