I am the defendant in the case of Blank Title Company vs.
Individual. Due to unfortunate circumstances and
hardships, especially the recent death of my husband, I
have been unable to properly address this matter. I
contacted several attorneys however they all required high
retainers and in view of my financial hardship I could not
obtain their services . On account of this misfortune I
am in the process of applying for government assistance.

This lawsuit has come at a very traumatic time in my life.
My common law husband of 23 years died on August 24, 2005,
I was fired from the company where I was employed on Sept
12, 2005, I was served with a summons on October 1, 2005, I
was admitted to the hospital on Oct 21, 2005 with Cardiac
Problems that I never had before and finally on October 24,
2005 there was Hurricane Wilma which caused us additional
hardship.

On Sept 9, 2005 I left a message for Employer, Vice
President of Blank Title Company, on her cell phone
letting her know that I received a call from the Crematory
and I needed to pick up my husbands ashes. After I bought
home the ashes is when I finally realized that my husband
was never coming back. I was so distraught that I had to
take medication to help me. On Monday Sept 12, 2005 my son-
in-law called employer and informed her that I was not able
to go to work because of my emotional state and that I did
not want to speak to anyone. That same day I received a
call from President of Title Company , when I answered the
call I was crying and President told me that I needed help
and to call him back later when I stop crying. Later that
day I called President and he told me that the company had
to let me go. I asked him how could they do this to me
especially now and that I had 3 vacation days left. He said
I don’t know talk to Vice President.

I called Vice President we spoke for some time and she told
me that I could return to work. Two hours later I get a
call from Vice President telling me that President was very
upset because Vice President had underminded him in telling
me that I could return to work and that if I returned to
work that he would resign from the company. Vice President
told me that she could not have him resign from the
company. Vice President and I spoke to each other several
times after that and she did tell me that it was her fault
that President fired me because she got him worked up. She
also told me that President did not want her talking to me.

On Sept 14, I called Vice President to see if I could pick-
up my last check along with my personal belongings she said
that I could get my things. When I get to the building I
call to see if someone could bring down my belongings and I
was told to come up to the office because Vice President
and President both needed to speak to me. President did all
the talking and he stated to me that if I contacted any
clients that he would sue me and that the litigation
process would be very lengthy and very costly to me not to
him.

During the time that I worked at the Title Company Vice
President would tell me that I was like family to her and
that she did not know what she would do if I ever left. I
have been working in the Title Insurance industry for 15
years this is my livelihood and I fear that this lawsuit
will affect my chances of obtaining employment in the
future.

During this tragic time I have experienced and continue to
experience a wide range of grief reactions including all of
the following Denial, Disbelief, Confusion, Depression,
Shock, Sadness, Yearning, Anger, Humiliation, Despair and
Guilt. The loss of a loved one is life’s most stressful
event and can cause a major emotional crisis. After the
death of someone you love, you experience bereavement .It
will take quite some time for my life and the life of my
son to be half way normal

Consideration was never taken by the Officers of the Title
Company that filing a law suit against me would also affect
my 15-year-old son . My son is at a crucial age in his life
and is already suffering greatly from the loss of a father
whom he adored. With everything that is happening at this
point, my son has expressed to me his fear of losing me
too.
I am being sue for an amount greater than 15,000.00 on the
grounds of Torturous interference, defamation and emotional
distress.
