Kathy: You have given great info! Yes, the "breaking up" of a house is so painful. When we got the call that the nursing home had space for them they had less than a week to move. That part was good as we told them that my brother and I would take 99% of contents of house - - a little white lie - we took the things we wanted and I had a bunch of furniture shipped to Florida for myself and my kids. I am sorry today I let her vast assortment of size 6 spectator pumps, her hats in hat boxes and her white kids gloves, in all lengths, go to Goodwill or similar - I should have brought them for my granddaughters dress up trunk at my house - But for months following this ordeal my Aunt Gertrude would quizz me on specifics - "did you or Danny take the blah blah?" I would answer that I had taken it - 3 months later she'd ask again I'd say "Danny took that" and she'd say "I thought you said YOU took it!?" or who took Mama's (my grandmother) tureen and I didn't remember a tureen "oh I took it" - - - exhausting and sad !!
