Ask Amy: Neighbor dies, and daughters don’t share the news

Dear Amy: "Ben" and "Sally" were neighbors of ours for 38 years.

We are the oldest residents on the street; the remaining properties have changed ownership several times.

Ben and Sally were somewhat reclusive, however when we met while walking, we enjoyed one another.

I was never in their home, but I was invited to one of their daughters' weddings. The two daughters are outgoing. When visiting their parents, we always enjoyed friendly banter with them.
