Oh, Cousin David,

How I wish I had not gotten this news today. I am so sorry to not be able to have any more of those long and funny conversations with you about our family. The news I just received moments ago of your death has stricken me deeply. I will cherish our last phone call, which was far too long ago. Now I must break the news to my mother, who will without a doubt be equally shocked and saddened. To Ross, Shirley, and David's many nieces and nephews, I am sure that words will do little to ease your sorrow. Just know that our earthly loss is Heaven's gain. We will miss him well.
