Just got some bad news that my cousin (who is my sister's age) died today. He was a deep sea diver working on pipes, etc. Apparently something went wrong with his equipment and he never surfaced. He was working out west, so I have no idea when the funeral will be. He died doing what he loved and that's a source of comfort.
This family has been through so much over the past several years: their father's suicide, another sister's battle with cancer, a raving alcoholic, and now this. I can't imagine burying a child at any age. He was a good son, a beloved nephew, a wildly, kind hearted, mischevious cousin. I will miss him dearly. We didn't see each other often, but when we did, there was always great amounts of laughter. You couldn't help it with him. I know he's up there with his Dad and my Mom and Dad. I can hear them now with him. One telling him which way to go, the other saying no it's the other and my poor cousin completely bumfuzzled as to what to do next.
Farewell my beloved cousin. I will miss you very much. Thanks for being you. I love you. I know you are in a better place. You will always have a place in my heart.
Thanks for your love and support family. Love and blessings to you all.
Live strong, Karilynn

Love you friend, Christy
