A New Hope
October 21st, 2013 @ 10:06 am

Just before 9 o’clock this morning I received a phone call from Frank Ashton, the attorney Kelly Mathis had asked to help with the investigation of mom’s case. Mr. Ashton and I spoke for just under an hour; I gave him the abridged version of the events leading to mom’s death and he asked many […]

Yet Another Week
July 22nd, 2013 @ 8:41 am

At about eight in the morning on Monday, July 22nd, 2013, I called the law offices of Mathis & Murphy, P.A. to speak to Kelly Mathis about the Order to File Inventory I received at the end of last week. Katie Perez, his legal assistant, answered the phone and said that she was — coincidentally […]

Primary Concerns

This afternoon I replied to the email I received yesterday from Kelly Mathis:   Sent: June 21, 2013 @ 01:20 PM PDT Kelly, I don’t even know where to begin. I’m not sure I know exactly what you mean when you ask for “bullet points of your other concerns”, so I am going to do […]

Another Week.
May 24th, 2013 @ 9:49 am

Just after seven o’clock this morning, Friday, May 24th, 2013, I emailed Kelly Mathis of Mathis & Murphy, P.A. in regards to my quixotic attempt to get Woodland Terrace to release my mother’s medical records. I was specifically writing in response to Monday’s email exchange between Mr. Mathis and Mr. Morrison of Quintairos, Prieto, Wood […]

Sisyphus
May 14th, 2013 @ 10:45 am

At 10:08 AM I called Mathis & Murphy again in another attempt to speak to Kelly Mathis. Good ol’ Candace answered the phone and I said it was me calling again. She sounded happy to hear from me and told me she was going to check to see if he was back from lunch. After […]

Out to Lunch
May 14th, 2013 @ 8:49 am

At 8:42 AM on May 14th, 2013 — about an hour after my previous attempt — I called Mathis & Murphy to try to get in touch with Kelly Mathis. Candace answered the phone and I said, “Hi, Candace. It’s David Gagne again.” Candace said, “Kelly has just gone to lunch. I’m sorry.” I said, […]

The Widening Gyre
May 14th, 2013 @ 7:52 am

Since Kelly Mathis didn’t respond to the message I left on his voice mail yesterday, I called Mathis & Murphy at 7:38 AM today, Tuesday, May 14th, 2013. Candace answered the phone and I reminded her of our call. “Hi, Candace. This is David Gagne. We spoke yesterday when I called looking for Jennifer Workman.” […]

Inconceivable
May 13th, 2013 @ 1:41 pm

I called Mathis & Murphy on May 13th, 2013 at 1:30pm to speak with Jennifer Workman and — fingers crossed — hopefully get an update on the status of acquiring mom’s medical records. A lovely woman named Candace answered the phone. I assume she’s a receptionist; she’s answered the phone almost every time I’ve called. […]
