Abuzz With Excitement
“The Reading of the Will” became something like a tradition to Daniella’s family, an excuse for everybody to get together for a “family reunion.” This took place in a conference room located in the office of the lawyer. To the rafters, the room was packed. There were great aunts, great uncles, great uncles, great aunts, great uncles, and many grandchildren. However, special seats facing the room, abuzz with excitement, were given to the two pastors. There were rumors that there were a few ‘surprises’ in the will.
Her Generosity
It became apparent when the will was read that the generosity of Edith remained well past her passing. As well as substantial gifts of money, everyone received mementos. Then the church’s turn came. As they were thinking about their share of Edith’s estate, the pastors were looking ravenous. The older woman was, after all, a long-time member of their church. The lawyer took out a letter that had been drafted specifically for them by the grandmother.
