When we had to move my Mom to a nursing home my younger sister felt there were many of Mom's things she was entitled to take. I didn't feel like making an issue of what she was taking, but a couple of things that I would have liked to have just are gone - Mom's recipe box was left sitting on the floor in her basement when the basement flooded - out it went. The Necchi sewing machine (c. 1955 or so) that I learned to sew on - given away when she had to move. Grrrrr.
