A reader recalls a father request to reprint his letter in memory of lost time with parents and laments printing it in a cemetery chapel. Another note asks if a theater patron should pay cleaning costs for his wife’s suede coat after a spill. Abby replies that the man should seek reimbursement from the patron and shares guidance on generosity and recipe sharing.
