Thank you, Grandma. His younger brother Chris told me that he is very angry with their parents because, "David went to his grave thinking they hated him."
I asked Chris what he thinks of coming up here with David's ashes when the funeral home releases them. He said, "That sounds like a good idea. Mom and Dad haven't mentioned doing anything to remember David. They have left it all in my hands."
We are still waiting for autopsy results. We are slightly concerned about the circumstances with his fiance. We hope there was not any gross neglect or foul play. We are hoping she is just very quiet and a woman of few words. The coroner's office told Chris that this is still under investigation and they will not be able to draw conclusions until the toxicology reports are in. So, it's a wait and see. The funeral home is holding David's ashes until the county comes through for funds for the cremation. It's red tape. At least Sierra Co will pay for it. David deserves dignity. And we hope we can give him a fitting fairwell once the ashes are in our hands and we can all get together, Chris, my daughter and me at least.
Chris told me tonight that he was speaking with their youngest brother Jason on the phone. We only hear from Jason every few years. Jason has nothing to do with the JW's. I am waiting to hear all about the conversation. Maybe Jason will come up, too.
