My cousin Cathy died today

I mentioned her in the post about her brother dying on Thursday. I feel so bad for my Aunt and there 2 brothers and one sister. Just so hard to process them both passing away within a few days of each other.

imagine your Aunt's pain. Losing a child is a gut punch, losing two within days of each other is heartbreaking.

It was unexpected with Cathy. We knew it was coming with Ron. He actually lived longer than the doctors had expected. We didn't expect it with Cathy. The doctors had just told her the chemotherapy wasn't working, and she was gone a few days after that.
