The very fact that Bobbie still remains committed to Doug's memory after being treated this henious way by him and his new family speaks volumes for her as a forgiving spirit.
 
Lord knows I would've reacted quite differently to this situation.

Nonetheless, it may seem surprising to many that I was not invited; nor even informed until today that contributions might have been accepted from abroad. As well, I sincerely hope your remarks were not assuming nor implying that I have never extended my sympathies to his relatives and/or friends, before or after his death, for you would be mistaken. 
 
And in kind, I am so VERY grateful for all the condolences that have been extended to me, most expressed with full knowledge, [as you are also well aware,] that Doug was not merely my "dear friend and business partner," but my romantic partner for years, right up to his becoming ill, yet who then married a few weeks after his surgery. Try to imagine dealing with that sometime.
