Dear Ann Landers,
ur niece who is only twenty-seven lost her young husband in a tragic accident six months ago. Her parents felt Regina would be better off in another city, away from memories, so they asked if she could five with me until she found a job and an apartment of her own. Regina has been with us four months. She found an excellent position as a bilingual secretary at $125 a week and seems to have recov-ered from her grief. She has a date almost every night. The girl says nothing about finding her own apartment. In the mean-time I do her washing and ironing and I prepare her meals. She entertains in our home and hands me a grocery list for her parties. She has never offered to pay for anything, says she wouldn't insult us by suggesting our hospitality is purchasable. We are pleased that Regina feels at home here, but we think 136 she should start to pay for room and board. On the other hand, she has suffered a great tragedy and we feel sorry for her. Advise us please.-Just Folks

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
