    Oh my cousin Kimmy! Your house was such a warm and welcoming place to visit whenever my family would come back to Rochester. when I was a kid/teen. It was usually only once a year, and rarely longer than a week (never long enough), but I’ll always remember how you and your whole beautiful family always made us feel like we’d never left, that we were part of a big – sometimes messy, sometimes loud; always loyal, always close – group of aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces . . . well, you get it. It didn’t take a genius to see how proud your mom and dad were, and how much they loved you. Love to you, and to Aunt Jean, Uncle Jerry, Chris and Karen.

    Aunt Jean, Uncle Gerry, Chris, and Karen. I am sorry to hear about the loss of my cousin your beloved daughter/sister, Kim. I am also sorry that I will not be able to attend the services for Kim, because I will be working. While I have only rarely seen her in our adult years, I have fond memories of playing games with my cousins, including Kim, at our family gatherings. I’m not certain, but I think she was part of the hat-keep-away gang, the group of mostly girls who liked to take Troy’s hat and play keep-away with it while I watched in amusement. I am glad that, only a couple of years ago, I got to briefly talk to her and hug her.
