My grandmother, eighty years old and a widow of eight years, a respectable woman of the Pullman District of Chicago, had a stroke right before the 2009 holidays, which left her unable to walk and in a nursing home for therapy. My father, who has not lived in Chicago but in another state, returned to Chicago to hire an estate salesman to handle the sorting and sales of over two hundred years' worth of my grandparents' items in order to raise money to pay for the nursing home. My father had a limited time to start the process as he had to return to work.
My grandmother's neighbor, Karen, who had been in my grandmother's house numerous times to help my grandmother off the floor whenever she fell, recommended a man to my dad by the name of "Mike McGraw" who "handles estate sales, etc. And can sell the house, too." Mike took the antiques, valuables, and my grandmother's personal belongings.
