I have fond memories of our childhood. As first cousins we were very close. I still remember the photo of the two of us when we were 3 or 4 years old. Me in a tuxedo and Chicki (that's what I always called her) in a wedding dress. Through the years we kept in contact. She started reunions of our decades Birthdays with our third cousin Rose Marie. With our last being at our 70th Birthday. I will miss her. Love Cousin Dom
