@blanchy, I have stories about various members of my extended family I would be embarrassed to write about, much less share. Deaths and funerals in the Southern US have an almost folklore status when it comes to "cleaning things out". It would be funny if it were not outright theft from another family member, and was someone else's family.

Like the cousin who stole Grandmother's piano from her home during the funeral. We all thought the poor woman had left the funeral because she was so grief-stricken!
