At about noon on August 21st, 2012, a week and a half after my mother died, attorney Steve Phillips sent me this text message:
Dr wolf should be calling u now. She said she left MSG for u last night. Let me know if u don’t hear from her in the next hr.
I replied right away with:
She did not call or leave a message for me last night. Does she have incorrect phone number?
A few minutes later, he replied:
She had wrong number. Calling u soon.
And then a moment later:
Sorry
I replied:
Ok
Then about an hour later (at 4:41 PM EDT) I wrote:
No call yet, FYI
And then a moment later:
I’m happy to call her if you have her number.
Steve replied:
She has the correct number now. Pincus said she would be calling u ASAP. I’m sure she will get to u soon
And I replied:
10-4!
About an hour after that (at 5:19 PM EDT) I texted him with:
Still no call. Hate to keep bugging you, but really need to get this done so we can have cremation and service.
Steve sent this reply:
She understands the urgency. I’m sure she will call soon. Unfortunately she got the wrong number from us. She tried calling last night at 7 and earlier today
