Thank you, {{{Trip}}} {{{Nikki}}} for the sypathies. I really liked the woman and being in her company; she had a way of making you feel welcomed as part of the family. She was the belle of the ball at the office where she worked as a receptionist. So many people are going to miss her. I wish that there was something more that I could do for her, but at least she is surrounded by her family (she has a large Italian family, all very close-by). And I have no idea how her father is going to manage--he has said as much himself, called her his angel.
And, yes, the dealings with the police was a pleasant surprise. Nice to feel validated from someone who has probably seen it all. He really seemed to be looking out for my best interests.
