DEAR ABBY: My husband was unfaithful to me for 15 years. When he died, his girlfriend and her family came to the mortuary with a huge basket of flowers and sat by the casket.
My daughter instructed the funeral director to remove the flowers, the girlfriend and her family from the funeral home. -- NOT-SO-GRIEVING WIDOW
DEAR WIDOW: For your husband's mistress and her family to have made such a public show of what had been a private affair (literally) was in the worst possible taste. She should have paid her respects privately at the grave after you and your child -- or children -- had left.
