Hi everyone

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

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 Just received word :(. 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 Just received word :(. 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.

Just received word :(
Heather

I can't believe the rotten luck you have had. Please know that I'm reaching out to you and I know that you'll make it through. I don't know what else to say.

Love,

You have so much to deal with right now - I am so incredibly sorry for the losses you have sustained, and right after the other.

I'll be saying extra prayers for you and your family. Please take care of yourself.

Thank you all for your support and caring thoughts to me and my family.
They all died very unexpectedly.....my cousin Hal was only 43...he didn't show up for work and my Aunt found him at home where he died of a massive heart attack Just received word :(....my other cousin Darlene (she was only 52) died after just being diagnosed with cancer....and my special Aunt Marge...she was 77 and did live a full life but her death was sudden as well. She was a very active and busy woman....went into the hospital yesterday not feeling great and suddenly died Just received word :(.

I thank you all for your love right now. It is going to be bittersweet this afternoon as Timmy's mother's day tea is today too....I will stay strong though....you all are giving me strength.

Just received word :(
Heather

Is there a reason why death is surrounding me lately? Just received word :(

My sister's sister in law passed away from cancer last night Just received word :(. They were extremely close and I had met her quite a few times over the years....a very sweet woman.

I am trying to come to terms with all of this around me....is this a sign for something? I am looking outside and seeing Spring all around me...isn't that supposed to be new life? Why is there so much sadness though? All of these people are so young....it's so sad.

Thank you all for your love and concern. I am sorry for going on about this....just trying to come to terms with so much happening.

Just received word :(
