November 11, 2013 Dear Mr. Kirkpatrick, I address you as Mr. Kirkpatrick because I no longer consider you family. Finding out Nan died a week after she was buried was not only upsetting but infuriating. Even if you believed that we were not there for Nan you should have informed us that she had passed. We could have made arrangements to come when you were not there but robbing us of the ability to say goodbye should not have happened. While you would like to believe we were not there for her when she was alive is a misconception on your part. When she was in Connellsville for years we visited her regularly. The person she did not see was you. The day she became ill and needed to be taken care of, you were not the one that dropped everything and rush to help her. She meant the world to us and you had no right to have a service and bury her without the family she loved and loved her dearly. How would you have felt if when our Mother passed away we excluded you from being able to say goodbye! There are a few things you need to be aware of, while I am sure you have thoughts as to why we quit coming up to see Nan, here is the truth. Nan was frightened every time one of us would visit because she said Mary would be angry that we were there. The last time we visited her she told me she loved me very much but it was too much for her after I left. Whether you want to face truth or not your wife was abusive to your Mother. She said things in front of your mother about what she would do if you died before Nan did; this upset your Mother so much. We have never wanted anything from you or Nan with the exception of unconditional LOVE. I hope you understand this letter is not for your acceptance of any of us we do not require your validation in any way. We DO NOT want to hear from you in any way. This is to let go of our anger towards you and your wife and to move on. You will find in life KARMA has a way of paying evil back. We hope that when you are sick and old that someone takes care of you in the same way your wife took care of Nan. We thought about the fact that Nan is now with people who truly loved her: Our Mom, Uncle Phil, Aunt Ruth, Pap, Uncle Phillip and Aunt Birdie (Alberta). I know I would never treat my nieces and nephews the way you have chosen to treat us. We have very little else to say to you other than there will be no need for your wife to inform us of your passing. Sincerely, Your Former Nieces and Nephews Michelle, Michael, Phillip, and Elizabeth
