father entered into a dispute with his brother over money he felt was owed to him. Amy’s father and uncle each firmly believed the other had cheated him. According to Amy: When my uncle did that to my dad, it hurt him immensely. We lost all contact with my uncle and his sons. My father passed away a year and a half later, and they did come to the funeral. But they did not sit with the family, and we didn’t welcome them in our homes because of what happened. After my dad passed away, my mother and I had no connection with his side of the family at all—none.
