A family member will certainly be aware when a request is declined. [/quote}

You don’t decline anyone. You just never get around to dealing with the email that asks you to click a link to accept. It’s like not getting a Christmas card from someone you used to get a card from. You may not even notice. Or they may have just not sent cards that year. Or they may have affirmatively stricken you from their list. How many of us spend time pondering it?
