Three Years After Daughter's Death, Ex Brings Look-Alike Forcing Marriage

The third year after my daughter's death, her fiancé Edward Gilbert showed up at my door with a stand-in on his arm.

"Mom, tell Yvette James that if she still won't show her face, I really am going to marry someone else."

The stand-in clung to his arm, and everything about her, the way she spoke, the small unconscious gestures.

All of it matched my daughter exactly.

Three years ago, Edward called off the wedding an eighth time for the sake of his gravely ill first love.

After my daughter died, he went half-mad hunting everywhere for a stand-in, playing the part of a devoted man.
