Sorry to hear about all the bad shit your mother's going through. I lost 
mine just over 10 years ago to cancer over a 6 month ordeal and I wouldn't 
want to hear anyone else having to go through something similar.

Regarding this thing, it's somewhat amusing your employer even considered 
altering their news report in any way thus giving this weirdo any credence 
whatsoever. As to the identity of the kook, I assume "his" name follows that 
of a certain deceased transvestite popular in early John Waters movies. 
There's some pretty funny court documents online regarding the lawsuit and 
the respondent's replies indicate someone with at best, a 3rd grade level of 
education.

I know it sucks or at least is annoying to be in the position you're in 
regarding the attention you're getting from the freak, but hopefully, your 
employer will aggressively deflect whatever attention his focusing away from 
you and to themselves.

Good luck,

T.B.
