My grandmother reportedly stated after a string of four grandchildren within one year that something had to stop. Well, it almost did. Two more grandbabies arrived several years later for a total of eleven grandchildren in all.
In 2009 we lost cousin #10, Susan. Thoughts of her always bring about a smile. She was quick-witted, very outspoken and opinionated, a champion of the weak and was a wonderful resource when you couldn't think of someone's name, a family connection or a car part. Susan left a gaping hole that will never close completely.

Today we held a memorial service for cousin #5, Tony. As a child he was adventurous and curious about the world around him. Unfortunately, Tony's zeal for life led him down many ill-fated paths. He, too, will be sorely missed by the family.
