It seems that H's father died in 1989 and mother died in 2005. It seems that perhaps MS had found the IOU amongst her mother's papers sometime after her death (possibly after H's death as well??), and from the sounds of it, has tried to collect on it? Although, how would she know it hadn't long ago been paid back?? In KD's ebook:Mary Mentioned BS' IOU Payable to HS' Mother. Why?

@JDG sbm bbm Thanks for your post. First, I'm not sure who ^ "she" in first ^ post refers to - Mary or Mary's Mother?
If Mary stated that she herself had tried to collect it--- when, how? Mary’s phone calls, in-person convo's w BS? What is the evd/documentation of her attempts? If Mary tried to collect thru legal proceeding, was it dismissed by court, or ???
If loan had not been repaid, forgiven, etc, when Mother died, presumably still holding the IOU/note, then in probate ct, or other ct proceeding, was IOU/note listed in doc's filed w ct, to collect w other debts owed her/her estate (or earlier w HS' Father's estate)?
If so, then was IOU/note treated as an advance to HS & deducted from HS's share of Mother's/parents' estate, at least if HS also signed as borrower?
Not clear to me that Mary told journo KD, that she thought she (Mary) was entitled to collect. Maybe Mary mentioned the IOU/note to journo KD to convey unfavorable impression about BS, not to say she (Mary) thought that she herself tried to collect at any point. Maybe she just wanted to criticize BS after his death? Seems doing so while he was living might have been harmful to her financial health.
Lastly, did journo KD pose these questions to Mary? If so, did she evade, refuse to answer?
Not concluding anything, just considering possibilities and unknowns. my2ct.
The Shermans also took care of their own parents. Honey's mother and father, for example, had a nice condo in Florida courtesy of the Shermans. (ebook pg 177)
I wonder if that might count as reimbursement, even if not paid back in cash, which I doubt. imo.
