tina, i read your book. in fact read it twice and it really touched me. none of my business, but have to ask.did you or your brother or sister ever receive anything personal from your father? that has always bothered me. you kids meant more to him than any other person in his life. i can't imagine him resting in peace knowing that his personal things did not go to his children. he was a man who believed family came first and his three kids were his family. that his third commitment (what i call an illegal marriage)would take that away is so against what he stood for. i will always believe he was morally married to your mother..reguardless what a greedy irish priest did. in god's eyes he was married to your mother until he died. and that third or fourth commitment..barbara, well, was just that and she knows it. if she knew your father at all, she knows it in her heart. she took all things from you in life but could never take his love for his kids away. she will live with that. it just bothers me that the personal things could go on auction for money when they belong to his children. anyone who knew him knows that.
