Sarah's Funeral

My cousin Sarah passed away after a brief illness with dementia, followed by a stroke. We loved Sarah. She was so fun to be around and always came to see us when we were in Florida. She and my mother were first cousins. I decided to take Alex and ride with my parents to the funeral in Florida. Evan and Vince hung out at home and did guy stuff.
Kim flew into Florida and Billy drove to meet us down there. We saw so many cousins. We have a huge extended family.

Alex had a hard time saying funeral, so he kept referring to it as a funerator. I think it was cross between a theater and funeral. He loved playing with his cousins, and had a hundred questions about why people die, heaven, and grave yards. We miss you, Sarah!
