I AM SO UPSET

[Guest]

Mary-

So very sorry for your loss.

I definately would not pay a consultant anything if they did not tell

me upfront that it was a paid service.

It sounds like someone trying to take advantage, or like the donor

service did not know there was a fee, and the consultant thought you

already were informed of it or something.

I agree with the others that you should compose a couple of letters

and send them certified, informing them that the practices are unfair

and that you are not paying for a service you were not aware you

would be billed for.

I am hoping things go as smoothly for you as possible at this

horrific time and wishing that healing comes quickly for you as you

go through this.
