As kids we didn’t have a care in the world. We especially enjoyed our family picnics. But as we grew older and went our separate ways it was hard to stay connected, especially when some of our family moved out of state. Each of us cousins were concentrating on building our lives wherever life took us. Most of us were close in age. Jeff was a year younger than me. He used to hang out with my husband when they were teenagers. They both enjoyed muscle cars and motorcycles. When Jeff came home from Florida for my mother’s funeral, he took the time to listen to me about what I have been going through before and after Mike’s death. I will never forget that. Today, June 8, 2024, Jeff passed away. I don’t know all the details of his illness, but he was diagnosed with lung cancer, and it took his life very quickly. It is a sad day for our family. I hope Jeff and Mike will see each other in Heaven. May you both rest in peace.
