Let's play devil's advocate here....Can any of us come up with a logic why grandma would be adament that only the living children get it?

I'm not jiving that concept with the what I know about how most grandmas love their grandchildren.

Responses:

Sure, the dead sibling was on the 'outs' with the grandmother and the other siblings took care of her/supported her in the end -- nm - decline Dec 16, 08:27 1
- Oh sure. If there's a legit beef there, then I would completely understand. I believe the assumption here is normal relations prior to the end. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 08:29
Because this current arrangement leaves some grandkids completely out? - TWuG Dec 16, 08:26 7
- Feels kinda silly, but yeah, I can see this argument somewhat. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 08:27
- their parents provide for them, mine can't. (is what I would say if it were me). -- nm - mafic Dec 16, 08:27
- those kids will get theirs when their parents pass on. -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 16, 08:27 4
  - Yes, but that's a fair bit different than "Grandma gave Cousin money, but not me." -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 08:29
  - assuming their parents don't spend it :) -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 08:28 2
    - that's between the kids and their parents. -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 16, 08:28 1
      - "Mum, Dad, don't spend all your money before you die because I want some" -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 08:29

- even so, to give one side of her family zip doesn't jive with me (again speculating) -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 08:27
