Gooseberry, think Barbie is correct. An e mail or letter just telling what he had said to you- without any judgement on your part might shake them up. Facts are always better by themselves because, as you said, you might unleash on them and that would be counterproductive.
I can't even imagine the pain these relatives are causing you and your spouse. Do keep us informed how it goes if you decide to do it.
As a side note, my favorite pastor once said that the hardest sermon to preach each year was on Mother's Day. Because everyone didn't come from a loving, devoted mom who loves them unconditionally. When you stop to think about it, makes sense that the Mrs. Cleaver type mom isn't the mom everyone had!
