Due to the death of my cousin, Cheryl, this past week
I will not be posting this weekend.
I do not have the energy required to do so.
Cheryl was what I have always called my/our 'double first cousin'.
My dad's brother married my mom's sister
and had Cheryl.
So we were very close not only genetically
but also in real life.
When her father left both she and her mother, my dad stepped in
to fill in the 'father figure' role.
He gave her away at her wedding and she attended every
family function we ever had.
She was like my fifth sister.
She married and had two sons. She had four grandchildren.
Even typing this I can't believe she is gone.
She will be so missed by my whole family.
Funeral services will be this coming Wednesday.
Have a great weekend everyone.
