Sue and I were cousins but not sure " how far removed" so I was her Calif Cuz and she was my Kanz´ Cuz. Our Grandmas were sisters. Sue found me several years ago and we connected. Although we never got to get together physically, we wrote and talked on the phone and found we had lots of things in common. Going to miss her now; but gone is not forgotten. Until we meet over the Rainbow Bridge it´s not goodbye only "just see ya later Cuz....
Always remember, God spelled backwards is Dog my friend.
