| 0:37.8 | Here it is, the strawberry letter. All right, nephew, thank you. Subject, my ex paid for my grandma's funeral. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am engaged to a man that I work with. We both teach elementary school, and when he transferred to my school, it was love at first sight for me. At the time, I had only been divorced a few |
