well, if you dont know her then there is no reason for you to be upset, but id go see her to pay some respect to her. i mean she is gonna giving you money and she wants you to enjoy it. so my idea enjoy it pay your respect to her and be done.

 

money or no money. it was a kind gesture of your grandmother like EvoTagger said. be supportive of family members that were close, you may learn who your grandmother was. have you asked how others in your family feels?

 

It's always sad when family passes on. The thing that's good is that she seems to be at peace with dying (given that she's already preparing for it). When someone is old and they pass on, it's hard, but if you know it's coming for a while, then it's slightly easier - you have time to prepare. My cousin died last year @ 32 with 2 kids, and that's something you really have a tough time dealing with, especially since we were very close.

If your grandma is still alive and aware, I'd quickly send her a note acknowledging (sp?) the gift and thanking her for being such a great person

 

not to put a guilt trip on you, but you've seen your grandmother 6 times in 21 years?

 

An Uncle that I was pretty close to died suddenly at 40 of a heart attack a few years ago, It was horrible! I especially felt bad for my pdad...But when I turned 18 my dad told me I had 6k in a TIAA CREF account...I bought a few hondas for dirt cheap that needed some work (clutches, brakes) turned it into 8k than 10k etc...AND HELLO EVO

 

If you feel happy with the new found money (which you have every right to feel happy about), don't feel bad... I'd feel just as happy if I saw you die in front of me and drop $1,000 on the ground with no one else watching... =]

Karma's watching you.

 

take the money and be thankful. put the money into something like a house so when you die, some relative you never really knew will get a nice little gift.

 

sure you can , get married to a different girl and have a whole new family

 

hahaha

 

he meant as in parents/grand parents


idk man...in my situation i'd feel sad bout having a loss of fam even tho din kno dat perosn dat well...and money dun replace ppl...ppl replace money

jus my .02

 

i say find out the history of her life & celebrate that. the money is just a side thing. donate it to charity or something or start a fund in her name at your local church. do whatever to remember the good in her...

 

what a sad little thread
