Draft

Here is a draft--feel free to edit/delete

Hi Mark,

I have contacted all of my family members and everyone wants to go to court.
My cousin Linda Jones will file suit to (at a minimum) get rid of the Feb 05
Will. We also want to explore some ideas about the Sugg St property and
perhaps the Dec 04 Will as well.

I have to be honest though--I have some concerns about this course of
action. First, I was puzzled by Mr. Whitledge's attitude towards me and it
became clear through comments made in his office and questions asked at the
hearing that his client has lied to him regarding many things. She
apparently has portrayed herself as poor, innocent Jeannette when there is
nothing innocent about her. I am extremely bothered by the way she
cavalierly spent my aunt's money by committing forgery. While most of the
money was spent on my aunt's behalf, there was no need for her to bypass me
and commit a crime in doing so. $1105 of the money she spent was my money
since I owned the account even though I subsequently placed the remaining
money in the estate account. She clearly tried to hide the existence of the
home generator and her weak excuse that it must have been in the basement
doesn't cut it. She was the one who forged my aunt's name to the Lowe's
charge slip so this "I forgot" excuse is laughable. Likewise, the "in the
hospital in Michigan" excuse is bogus. Jeannette does not live near the
Michigan/Indiana border and the letter was signed by a physical therapist in
Indiana. Jeannette has Carpal Tunnel syndrome and I hardly think that is a
valid reason for missing a hearing. It did not keep her from being in
Madisonville on 27 Nov 05.

I am very puzzled by Jeannette now wanting to return items but will not take
the deal I offered her. She is probably afraid to face Judge Calvert having
been shown in his court to be a liar and a forger. I watched the judge's
face as I was testifying and he clearly was not happy with what he was
hearing. Jeannette appears to be under the impression that she is going to
end up with more than the Sugg St property--she is horribly mistaken. Mark,
you have (rightfully) kept me on a leash during these proceedings; however,
the gloves have now come off. My family will do whatever is required to
prevail because we believe our cause to be righteous.

Maybe this is stupid of me but I want Mr. Whitledge to know that I am
squeaky clean in all areas regarding my aunt's estate and my treatment of
her and her personal affairs. I served in the military for nearly 28 years
retiring as a Chief (E-9). As a result of this service, I have a strong
sense of right and wrong and I generally see issues as black and white.
Money and possessions are not the issue with my family--we are committed to
doing what is right. Jeannette was the person who was with my aunt during
the last six weeks of her life so one has to ask, who poisoned my aunt
against Sally Logan and myself? Neither of us did anything wrong! My
family is very bitter towards Jeannette for ending my aunt's life without
consulting us. With the information we currently have, the decision to
withdraw life support appears to have been wrong.

If you have read my earlier post, please realize that I screwed up and did
not intend for the message to be posted here. It is a letter I composed to
my lawyer about legal troubles I am having in an estate settlement. I'd
also appreciate it if you would not comment on it and just let it die.
