Thank you 25 and F. I did find the obituary and left a message on the guest book to the entire family. There are 10 siblings altogether so it is a rather large family. My MIL passed 2 years ago and my WAS did not attend her funeral. Being such a large family as one might envision there was some who did not get along, hard feelings and a good amount of turmoil from over the years etc. This is what she used to not attend her mothers funeral. Her and I had talked at length about this but her decision was final.
I was just told WAS did not attend her Dad's funeral this morning either. Although I am not completely surprised I am also not understanding of how she could choose to not attend this as she truly loved him. Of ten siblings she was the only daughter/sister. The same family members however were also in charge of these arrangements as they did with thier Mom so it seems the family strife continues.
Through the obit I was able to get the details of the funeral etc. Dick was a very kind elderly man and he and I were close. He was 84 years old and died from lung and bone cancer. He survived cancer of the sinus cavities in the late 80's after a long period of surgeries/treatments.
It does sting somewhat that no further info was offered to me over the past few days. I responded to WAS 2 sentence email to me announcing FILs death quite pleasantly. Saying this was sad news, I'm sorry and thanking her for letting me know.
And no 25, he did not talk with her before his passing. As a matter of fact they had no contact since his wife/her mothers passing....
