Ch 5 Monday Christmas Eve I ask Stephanie who will raise Michael and Maria if she dies and she is bewildered that I would ask such a stupid question to which there is such an obvious answer

Me: Who will take the kids if you die before they are grown?

Stephanie: That’s a weird thing to ask!

Me: I know, but it came up in conversation the last time I was here and I just had to know. Sly is very concerned that he and Doris would be raising your children.

Stephanie: What? Jack would have them! He’s their FATHER!

Me: And if Jack dies, too?

Stephanie: No. No. My brother. I made sure about that. Those two will never get my children. Never. Why would they even think that?
