Getting something off my chest

[wombat_socho]

I understand that animaltofriends and her ex-sister-in-law have expressed interest in attending my mother's funeral Mass and interment.
Carlos and I have derived some bitter amusement from this, for what may not be obvious reasons. In my case, I can't understand how somebody who had a low opinion of my father and didn't even ask about attending his funeral would think they'd be welcome at my mother's funeral.
