Alias: Cause of Death: [Hicks_March_2002.FTW] There is some family speculation as to what happe ned to Della and Robert in the months and years following John's death. Cons i der the following: -- Della was roughly the same age as John's childrenf ro m the first marriage. -- Children inherently have problems accepting apa re nt's efforts to get on with their lives after the death of their spouse. - - John had accumulated a significant amount of wealth, especially in the form of real estate. -- Della and Robert moved to Indiana soon after the death of John. -- The lack of financial support from the first family. Robert remem bers living in poverty with his mother. -- The fact that Robert neverwent to live with his Hicks relatives after the death of his mother. Thesefactor s lead us to speculate that Della - and her offspring - were never accepted b y the ''family''. Were they unwelcome intrusions that soiled the memoryand ho nor of their dead mother and ultimately threatened their future claimsto Joh n's assets? In fact, Robert recalls that, shortly after his father's death, o ne of the step-children confronted Della about the status of John's estate, i. e., where's the money? There were probably many unkind words spoken and man y tears shed that we will never know about. It forces us to ask what ''sin s'' were visited upon Della...and upon her son? |
