Woman Kicks Husband out over Low Income, Later Learns He Died Leaving Her $100K – Story of the Day

Catherine and her husband, Mike, were in a marriage that began to be strained by Mike’s laziness and immaturity. Catherine eventually left Mike, only to discover after his death that he had managed to change his ways after all.
