NO REGRETS

19

We were ready by 8:30 and left for their bank. We arrived 30 minutes later and Antonio opens the car door and I get out.  He locks it.

Sis this is almost over take a deep breath.  I know its hard, but they both trusted you. I know. 

Jay opens the door. 
Hailey asks for the manager of the bank. He comes and conveys his condolences to us all. I hand him the death certificates, my identification and the letter which proves I am the executor of their will.

Mrs. Raymund what would you like to do first? Withdraw the funds and close out all of their accounts. Here is a list of names, the amounts and their accounts with their names of the banks or credit unions and routing numbers to make the deposits. We already spoke how much was in each. You have made checks out to their creditor's correct? Yes we have those ready. You just need to sign them .

Joey starts signing each one. They make the copies and hands them to checks after making copies for their records as required by their bank. He hands my sister the checks. Joey hands them to Jay and Kevin so they can add them to the envelopes with the death certificate and deal each one. 
 
Please make sure they get mailed our today. We will Mr . Mrs. Halstead . Thank you. Thanks.  Your two are very welcome.  Did you find the key to the safe boxes? Yes It was in there safe. Will you being going alone or is everyone coming with you ? Everyone is coming.  I will ask the staff to get the room ready and add more chairs. Thank you.

He left after giving me a receipt for each bank transfer.  I put those too in my  jacket pocket. We all were quiet and waited for him to return. My brother had his hand holding one of my hands. He returned and told us to take our time. He used the four keys to open the boxes and carried them to the room where we would open them and I would read the paper or letter that states who gets what.

Dear Joey,

If you are here,  we are both died. We trusted you doing the right thing. We are sorry you having to endure the rudeness of my mother and her antics. I purposely told you she and brother died because I didn't want them to get more than what was stipulated. Deb supported my decision. You and others saw what she especially put me through. Voight always had my  back.  He doesn't need any money well you know why as many of us did but didn't discuss how he got it.  You and the others kept my secrets and others. I truly respected that. Our friendship over the years was much appreciated after I switched batting for a different size. You all accepted my decision and didn't teasd me which was amazing and very appreciative.   You will find the third page with photos of who gets what.  Finally, I hope when I die the final love of my life will be my wife,  Deb.

Love fondly,
Deb Davis
Love, Jenna Davis

As I read this I was balling like I have not done in years. Everyone else started crying too.

We put everything in  a back pack and we left once we regained our composure. We thanked the bank manager and he again said he was truly sorry.  We left and I was quiet as Antonio drove us back to the house.
We finally arrived and we all got out. Anyone who was to be there to receive the contents of the back pack was present.  I went to the restroom to use it and cry more.

Babe I feel your pain . Thank you.  I only have this to do and meet with property manager on Monday.  I know everyone is leaving later on today and we are leaving on Monday.  Babe I am with you. I booked us a flight at two thirty.  We have to be there by one thirty to check in . Okay thank you. I want to pay the taxes to once Laura tells me what I owe. I don't want to have to wait.  The appraiser came and appraised everything. He love the painting done by Gloria O'Reilly.  He offered to buy it. Here is his number if you want to sell it
Thank you.

We exited the restroom and I opened the back pack and started handing out everything to everyone present.
Diandra,  Nazanin and my gal made us lunch and we ate. I ended up getting drunk and my brother carried me to the master bedroom after he took me to the restroom when I puked. He left me and Emily helped me get out of my clothes and turned the shower on so I could take a shower. 

Babe please join me.

Emily got undressed and handed me a scope to rinse out my mouth than my toothbrush with toothpaste on it for me to brush my teeth which I did. She took the tooth brush and set it on the counter. We took a shower.  We washed one another no dessert. I only needed to be clean.  Emily knew I wasn't in the mood for dessert and I appreciate it. We dried off and got dressed in sweat pants after we wore sports bras and boxers for men and women. We got into bed after Emily placed our clothes to be washed.

Emily thank you. Babe I am here to support you in what ever you need.

We kissed and she just held me close and we both eventually fell asleep.
