The money quote:

"Another of Hill's daughters, Patricia Barber, contested the marriage, saying it would complicate the eventual distribution of Hill's estate."

[mylife]

Their suffering is done.

It’s amazing how greedy some people get, especially when someone dies.

[Red Badger]

Hope she gets what she deserves................

[Larry Lucido]

She’s 96 and he’s 95? Sounds like an episode of Cougar Town.

[tet68]

You’re right about the money quote.

Died of influenza too, not unusual, but it’s the season.

[Durus]

Everyone does, unless they are saved.

Another Money quote: "Harrison and Hill's marriage this year after 10 years of companionship was disputed in court. "

And now they dispute it? Stinks to high heaven. Sounds like a liberal judge allowed it.

Think "Let no man put asunder"

[sr4402]

Also I blame the reporter. Calling him a “Newlywed” after 10 years. What a smokescreen.

[RC one]

I hope he had time to write his family out of his estate.

[DoughtyOne]

If I never see a red cent of my parents money or estate, it would suit me fine.

I have never understood how family members can act this way.

I would have moved heaven and earth to keep those two together. It boggles the mind the lengths people will go to for their children, and the complete refusal to do the same for their mom and dad, or mom and here significant others, or their father and his significant others.

They took her December 6th, not a guilty conscience between them. What vile inhuman people...

“Oh, they’re old and it’s their time anyway.”

Hogwash!

This was a sin IMO. I hope the good Lord visits proper retribution upon them.

Blood is thicker than water. Money is thicker than blood.

"Another of Hill's daughters, Patricia Barber, contested the marriage, saying it would complicate the eventual distribution of Hill's estate."

Lowest of the low, nuff said, but I could say a hell of a lot more.

[Kirkwood]

The wife didn’t die. I wonder if they even told her that her husband died.

[Kirkwood]

Newlywed is acceptable. They were married less than a year, but knew each other for 10 years.

[Salvation]

The sin of Greed.

[OldNavyVet]

Hope she gets what she deserves

That's what "last" wills are about. And believe me, those last messages can strike home

[Salvation]

Of course he is a newlywed. He just got married.

[Gasshog]

Patricia Barber, the rottenest, stinkingest, greediest selfish bitch in Florida State.

[TomGuy]

Several things don’t add up.

Judge allowed the marriage to stand, but Edith Hill had been declared legally incapicated for several years.

A {different?} judge appointed a new guardian for Hill. The guardian arrived to take Hill away to Barber’s home.

[Sounds like the guardian was in cahoots with Barber.]
