Hi everyone

I just received that dreaded phone call....my favorite cousin just died unexpectedly. He was only 43 .

His Mom (my Dad's sister) is devastated....she has been through so much this past couple of years - breast cancer being one of them and now this . I am at a loss as to what I can do. She has always been there for me - always. The day I found my Dad when he died - she got me through so much. I was just going to call her back to remind her of my son Timmy's Mother's Day tea which is tomorrow afternoon....instead she will be at her son's wake . She was with me last year at the tea as it was my first Mother's day without Mom.

Please everyone....today give those you love an extra hug and tell them how much you love them as you never know what tomorrow may bring.

To my wonderful cousin Hal.....you are riding your motorcycle off into the sunset....love you.
