Herself: Bronchitis and a sinus infection. One pill cures all. |
She gave us the gift of this home just by chance one day. She answered the phone. A man asked if she was Margaret G and that he had $2,500.00 for her. She replied that she was Terry G, but she thought she knew where Margaret was. My mother, Margaret, had died many years ago, but Terry found me and we hit off right away….cousins by a long ago marriage.
I thought this money thing sounded like a scam, but I called the man to find the details. A few bucks of “found” money the man said. I still thought it a scam and called the State Controllers Office to ask about found money next. Terry rejoiced with me as I discovered the sum was many thousands of times more than $2,500.00 bucks forgotten when a savings and loan bank closed. When our CPA informed us we were buying a house with the money, no one enjoyed this condo more than she did.
She will be much missed by the many friends she made and kept through love and by chance.
What a great story! Something we all dream about came true. Meanwhile I'll keep wishing that rich old uncle's or aunt's lawyers will find me before I die.
