Cousins. They are the best of all worlds. The people who share your memories and family ties but with just enough distance to avoid a lot of the drama of daily life. Today I lost one of the best. Younger by enough to let me babysit her as a child, old enough to become a good friend as we grew up. She was a fighter, an artist, the strongest and most loving woman. I adored you since before you were born Rhonda Slack
