[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope, sorry. Barring a severe medical issue of your own there is no good excuse for being too busy to help your siblings out with clearing your parents’ house or missing their funeral. No one is that busy. If you decide it’s not important enough for you to be there then you don’t get to demand a thing from those that stepped up to do the work and handle the emotional load.[/quote]

Op hasn't said if she attended the funeral unless I missed that part.  This is something I was thinking, if you can't get to the funeral of your own mother then some statute you grew up with can't be that important or it's sending a message that the statute is more important than the mother.  There is nothing, no excuse good enough to pass for not being there for a parents funeral (unless of course you are estranged etc).

If OP didn't go to the funeral I do wonder if the sister may have ignored OP's wishes.

Otherwise all OP can do is ask the sister if she has it or not.  If she says she has it if it's that important to OP then she can fly out there and get it.  After 3 years I doubt the sister wants to go through tons of boxes to locate it and then spend time mailing it.  Who knows maybe she got it and decided she loved it and has it in her own house now.  She may have decided she'll give it to OP when OP next visits her.[/quote]
