My Grandma

[Lindsey]

That's a good idea Diana. Is your mom close to his side of the family too? That would make things easier I think. I think the best thing to do would be to have it all out on the table with EVERYONE involved beforehand. He never got that chance because of his Alzheimers... he didn't even know his kids, or my grandma, anymore. He didn't know what he had. Nobody knew it would come down to this. But his family never wanted anything to do with our family. My dad and his brothers seemed more like sons to him, and spent much more time with him and showed more interest in him than any of his kids did.

My dad went out to the cabin this weekend and pulled the boat out of the garage (He had just completely vacuumed and cleaned it out three weeks ago to store it for winter), and he took the motor apart. He threw in the old gas line and took out everything else he had spent time and money on replacing. They can get it in the same condition my dad got it in. I don't think my grandma's husband ever took his family or grandkids out in that boat, but we went so many times fishing with him when we'd go camping together when I was young, before we had cabins. And now that it's up and running again, my dad uses it in the summer probably 2 or 3 times a week! They have never shown interest in it before. But I guess now they can sell it and make a buck
