Taste in help...

Your mother was an extraordinary woman. But her taste in help left a lot to be
desired
. (Her undestanding for help needed to change?) Pamela was a hanger-on.
She convinced your mother
to leave her all that stock, then she disappeared before
the body was even cold. I know how much she meant to you and I
don't want her using emotional tyranny (manipulate?) to hit you up for money.
