DEAR ABBY: My aunt is a money-hungry, conniving thief. From the time I was a baby, she always bought me gifts. But when her parents (my grandparents) died, she literally stole more than $200,000 from them. She claims my grandfather willed it all to her, which is not true because he detested her. She promised my mom $5,000 when she retired. Well, it has been 10 years since Mom retired, and my aunt claims she doesn’t remember promising her. Then she claimed she invested and lost it. Do I have a right to be angry at her? -- MAD IN MICHIGAN

Rital Duvall Tippit, 102 years of age-peacefully passed away on July 21, 2022, in Davis, Ok. She was a pragmatic and practical individual, with an especially strong soul. Love and life were not always kind to her, and like so many others born of The Great Depression, she learned early in childhood the hierarchies of need, and how to survive. Those difficult days had a profound and lasting effect upon her daily life and philosophies. Now that death has come and laid this gentle hand upon her shoulder, our family believes she will attain the peace, and contentment that is richly deserved. She is survived by her daughter Wanda Scott and two grandsons, Jimmy Dow Scott, and Dawson Scott. Funeral services were provided by Craddock Funeral Home, and she was interred in Rose Hill Cemetery.
