That is sad. I think one day the family will be sorry. My mother has all the recipes for my grandmother and we use them often.
This reminds me of my three aunts who were having a yard sale after my grandmother died. They were going to sell all of her pictures. My mother could not believe this and took them. A couple of years later my aunt came to my mom asking for them back because she did not have pictures of somebody. And to think she tried to sell them to a stranger.
