True love

They had a tough life but together they had their hearts full. Sometimes a real stories are more moving than fantasy.

Sad

I'M not going to read any more of your books because I don't like sad endings. That was Jack London stories when I was young. Great author, as you are, but always a sad ending.

A grant of Letters of Administration in record time.

A grant would have taken up to a year or more. Research!!!! Stood yarn spoiled by inaccurate grammar too. Alas.
