An unexpected loss...my dear cousin, Jill.
Each of my parents only has 1 sibling, so grew up with a total of 5 first cousins. I lost one on Friday. Now I am the only girl. :( My heart especially goes out to my aunt, "Nanny" and Uncle Hal. After having a child of my own, I cannot fathom losing my baby....at any age. My mom is in Austin now to be with her dear sister, brother-in-law, nephews and other family. Jill was very loved and will be dearly missed.
