Faced with altogether too much death, all too often, I was actually excited to learn this site exists. A cousin, Kellie, is a huge contributor to the site and is unknowingly making it easier for me to "feel" closer to those I've lost - not just because of the information shared; but because of the pictures posted and the sentiments expressed. Whatever I can do to help is a privilege and I don't take it lightly. If I can take a picture for someone at a near-by cemetery - or if I can sponsor your loved-ones page and make it advertisement free, it's a pleasure to do so. Interesting how those who have crossed over can actually bring those of us who remain on this side closer to one another. Thanks, cousin Kellie, for your efforts and to the rest of the family and friends for allowing me to be part of it all. Here's hoping we can see each other in a near-future vacation. Love and hugs to Gloria, Glenda, and all my counsins, too. Spending my summers in Republic from 1973 - 1982 was a life-changing event. Thanks to each of you for helping me create the memories.
