Saying good bye.....

My cousin, Kathy Fagley passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008. Election Day. Guess I will remember that day for more reasons than one. Today was her funeral. Dawna and I went along with a majority of my family and many cousins and friends of hers. It was a very tough morning. The minister asked if anyone wanted to get up and speak about memories of Kathy. When Kathy's mother got up and started talking, I couldn't stop weeping for her. Then her younger brother Michael got up and started talking, and I lost it. Michael is also my god child, along with being my nephew. This is a very special family. Kathy's daughter, Amanda, who is 12 years old, could not leave her father's side. I felt so bad for her. Cancer is such a devastating disease. She just found out she had cancer less than a month ago, and now she is gone. So tragic, and so sad. I will miss her so much. Please, pray for her family. This is a very tough, trying time for them. So many unanswered questions. So many doubts. Just pray, please..
