Just so you know, the second ex, of whom you had some very choice words, has insinuated herself into the arrangements picture. She does seem genuinely shaken by his death, but there is clear evidence of maneuvering on her part for financial gain. This is really not the place to go into detail on this. But just so you know, we've cautioned the daughter and her boyfriend not to be influenced by her regarding the future of the warehouse business, and to protect Sifu's legacy and valuable possessions from her pillaging ways. This was done in as tactful a way as possible, and I think was well-received.
Well, the daughter just fired Joel and Terri on the spot today, because she just sold the warehouse business to her mother, Lynn -- the second ex. Lynn is flying out on Friday to take over. It's not clear who is minding the store in the meantime. But the fact that Joel and Terri had warned the daughter about her own mother's thieving ways, even calling her the devil, probably made it untenable to keep them aboard.
Sudden and shocking. No doubt there's a bigger story behind all of this. But very likely the daughter is overwhelmed by this business and wants to live her own life, and her mother can take the load off of her while still sort of keeping the business in the family.
Terrible for Joel and Terri... No advanced notice.
