Thanks for the clarification. It's very disturbing to see the violence of against families. And the take of property unfairly.
Really needed to watch this very informative.
Lovely to have a great uncle from Boston, who his lawyer contact me about his trust fund, lovely surprise for me. Being sweet and compassion and no agenda are fabulous quality to have in life, no matter who we talk to. People always remember how you make them feel.
