I also arranged it so that everything got left to the 2nd wife, so my
sister was also a bit miffed about that ;-)

Just goes to show you... What Dad wants... Dad gets.

It's actually somewhat sad that Jim's sister doesn't appear to realize that
her dad finding someone new to enjoy his life with in no way dishonors the
memory of her mother. If I die before my spouse does, I would like for her to
go out and enjoy the rest of her life with whomever she happens to meet and,
if things work out right, get married again and bring great joy to one
another's lives. I would hope that most people feel that way, even if they
could never imagine re-marrying themselves if the roles were reversed.
