- My grandma apparently didn't think my mom, her (Gail's) only child,
would forge her (Gail's) name on a Power-of-Attorney, or otherwise (they
(Missy & Gail) looked like sisters, people often said; 16-years seperated
them), to withdraw all her (Gail's) money out of her bank account.
-
This would have been sometime after her (Gail's) husband's (Dan's)
Heart Attack on 7-30-12, which was when they (the doctors) figured out
on 8-22-12 at the hospital for Dan that she (Gail) had Pancreatic Cancer
(she (Gail) looked Jaundiced), and which was when my grandma went to live with my
mom because Dan went to live with his daughter (Danna), then (Dan) an
old-folks-home, before he passed in 2013, a year after my grandma in
2012.
- My grandma apparently had "$150,000" tucked away in an account separate and apart from her husband’s (Dan’s) and her (Gail’s)
joint account, which apparently had about “$80,000” in it.
- After my grandma died, my mom let it slip on the phone that “grandma” had about “$150,000” in the bank,
which she
(Missy) got.
- This appears not to count Dan’s 2009 Toyota Tundra (my grandma talked Dan into getting
the Tundra--after he
(Dan) ran his (Dan's) other truck off the road when he (Dan) fell asleep--because of its 20 inch rims and tires because they
(the tires) were noisy; she
(Gail) suggested this would be my truck when he (Dan) got too old to drive or died), Four wheelers, art, statutes, and the like.
-
About a year later, after three vacations (cruises to the Bahamas), plastic surgery (my mom had
lipo, and Corey a nose job), a 2012 Shelby Cobra Ford Mustang (“the last one Shelby made”), boats, Seadoos, etc.) she
(Missy) revised there was “$5,000” and that she (Missy) knew “grandma” would want me to “have it”,
though she (Missy) apparently blew through it too before I got out
(i.e., she blew through $145,000 in less than a year, then the other $5,000
thereafter) and, of course, my grandma left me nothing--highly
unlikely given our (mine & Gail's) close and personal relationship developed over
the years of my incarceration (until she got sick, I lived right
down the street from her (Gail) and she visited me every single
weekend for years on end).
- I remember over the years of my incarceration (after my
grandma died till I paroled) trying to ascertain the location of my $5,000 my grandma put in a CD from when she
(Gail) sold my
Seadoo.
- Every time I asked, she (Melissa) responded sent me a few bucks, often in Richard Adams's
(Corey's uncle's) name; I suspect it was from Richard's
retirement account, and I suspect it was a case of artificial
confusion, what with having to then juggle two inmates'
(Richard's & my) accounts.
More detail.
- Before my grandma died, however, my mom told me that my grandma kept asking her (Missy) to take her (Gail) to her (Gail's) bank in Graham to get (or find out, I’d hazard, what happened to …) her (Gail's) money (apparently the "$150,000") until she (Missy) finally loaded her (Gail) up in her (Melissa’s) new 2011 Tahoe to get it and that was when they (the bank) told them (Missy & Gail) the account was
empty or had been closed (cleared out) that a blood vessel in my grandma’s eye bust and it turned blood red;
- After which was apparently when they (Missy & Gail)
launched their (Missy's & Gail's) counter attack / cleared out Dan’s and her (Gail's)
joint account.
- I suspect my mom told her (Gail), as she (Missy) did me, in contradiction to
the hospital show-down she (Melissa) told me about between them
(Gail, Missy, & Corey) and Danna, that Dan’s daughter (Danna) somehow found out about the account and
cleared it out.
- My mom let it slip too that while they were at the hospital after Dan’s
Heart Attack that Danna threatened to “sue” them (apparently Missy & Gail) if they
(Missy & Gail) did not give it back (Note: here was no mention
of the “$150,000” my mom said Danna “took” (more below)), and that Dan told
them (Missy & Gail) that was all the money
he (Dan) had to live on (not including his (Dan's) many other investments).
- If Danna, or Dan, for that matter, took it, then why when they
(my mom, grandma, & Corey) were at the hospital and Danna was threatening to
sue them to get her dad’s (Dan’s) “$80,000” back didn’t my mom threaten to
sue her
(Danna) for taking my grandma’s “$150,000”, unless she (Missy) was lying Danna got it?
- They (Missy) apparently gave the “$80,000” back, though they
(Missy) did not tell me how, and there was no talk or mention of the “$150,000” “Danna” supposedly found out about and “took.”
-
Beside the $400 a month my mom and Corey (stepdad) paid my grandma back, and were paying her
(Gail) back, i.e., for the loan
for the house, i.e., my "Interest", until probably around the time of her
(Gail's) stroke (which would have been about
3-year's worth of $400 a month payments
($14,400)), and besides the $5,000 my grandma had in a CD for me
from when she (Gail) sold my Seadoo while I was gone away in prison, my grandma didn’t really have large clusters of money like that
stashed away
(not that $19,400
($14,400 + $5,000 = $19,400) is a lot), at least, that I knew about (my mom’s another story; I’d assume she (Missy) knew the extent of her (Gail's) endeavors with Dan's conquests
(Dan owned the mini-strip mall in Granbury before Granbury was
much of anything and an Oil Well near the Weatherford College,
plus I know he loaned money with interest).
- All the
while she (Missy) was sitting on $150,000 she (Missy) stole from
my sick and dying grandmother she (Missy) was telling me
that I was going to have to "tighten" my "belt";
under the direction of my grandma, my mom was sending me money
each month for commissary, which I suspect she resented and was
more than glad to get out from under.
- I remember responding whether she was still paying my grandma the $400 a
month for the loan.
- My mom appeared to respond, tongue-in-cheek, "Um! Yeah." Like she couldn't
believe I had the audacity to ask.
- I knew it was a lie, but there was nothing I could do.
- I’d put money on it, Dan didn’t know about my grandma's bank account with
$150,000 in it, and I’d bet Dan unknowingly contributed heavily toward the
same; by and large, she (Gail) handled their (Dan's) bills.
