Looking for an Update
September 7th, 2012 @ 11:46 am

On the morning of September 7th, 2012, I sent this email to Steve Phillips of Pincus & Currier, LLP, the attorney who was working with us at the time: Hey Steve, Can you tell me what’s happening right now? Have you heard anything from Dr. Wolf? Did you send the notice to Woodland Terrace about […]

Hounding the Doctor
September 7th, 2012 @ 6:24 am

At about eight o’clock on the morning of Wednesday, September 5th, 2012 I had forwarded an email from Dr. Cusack to Attorney Steven Phillips of Pincus & Currier, LLP and added this note: Steve, Do you have any idea what I should do here? I am just completely at a loss at this point. He […]

The End
September 6th, 2012 @ 9:45 am

Dr. Allen Cusack of Cusack Mortuary just emailed me: Great News!! The medical examiner’s office for Volusia County approved the cremation at 11:26 a. m. Like I said, it wouldn’t take long once we had a doctor’s signature. The delay has been Dr. Peele as everyone else has been ready to do our duties. The […]

Dr. Allen Cusack from Cusack Mortuary just emailed me: Good Morning, Good news…the death certificate has been signed.

Still No Death Certificate
September 5th, 2012 @ 7:42 am

My mother died well over three weeks ago. She has yet to be cremated. This is absurd and disgusting and pathetic and insulting and I am really just at a complete loss at this point. Here’s the email I just received from Dr. Allen Cusack of Cusack Mortuary. (Allen has been kind and gentle and […]

Cremation Delayed
September 4th, 2012 @ 10:43 am

I emailed Allen at Cusack Mortuary to ask about the status of my mother’s cremation. She died over three weeks ago, so it is very frustrating that we are still dealing with this: Dear Allen, Can I get an update on the status of my mother’s ashes? Was the cremation completed? Have you heard from […]

Dr. Buck
September 2nd, 2012 @ 7:00 pm

About three weeks and three hours after mom’s death, my little sister sent me this text message: Dr. Buck just called to see how Mom was doing. He’s a good guy. If you had any questions, you could probably talk to him. I replied and asked: Out of the blue on a Sunday night? Huh? […]

The Process
August 30th, 2012 @ 12:14 pm

It only took Dr. Allen Cusack about five minutes to reply to my email. He said: Good Afternoon, We are still awaiting a response from Dr. Peele, which I should have before the close of business today. As soon as he signs off, we will have the cremation completed and will send your mother to […]
