The Will Had Been Prepared
20 Percent Of Her Estate
The lawyer then resumed reading the letter. “Pastor McConnel did not know it when he visited me, but Grandpa and I had already prepared my will, long before his visit, which did include a double tithe – twenty percent – of my ENTIRE ESTATE, for what was now my former church. But I felt bad that we had not personally remembered such nice people as Pastor James and Pastor McConnel. So I changed my will to include them by name. While I was at it, I changed the amount of money that I left to the church.”

“I’ve included money to reflect the love they and the church haven’t given me over the last ten years,” the lawyer continued. Both the church and pastors received one cent each. As the pastors were sitting visibly in front of the entire family, the two looked like “someone had injected a gallon of novocaine into their jaws,” according to Daniella. The family was struggling to contain their smiles. There was one more strike, however. Edith’s grandma was not finished.
