Sadly, we received bad news yesterday. My cousin, Jill, passed away. She'd had a heart attack on Friday, but unfortunately, had never regained consciousness. She was actually my Mom's cousin (their mothers were sisters), but I grew up across the street from her, and she was only 1 year older than my sister. I am very fortunate to have had so many wonderful times with her. She will always be remembered lovingly by those who knew her.
Most of these were taken in September of 2006 at our family reunion, which was hosted by Jill and Joe. The reunion was not only a gathering of family "to catch up", but also to celebrate Jill and Joe's 40th wedding anniversary. Fortunately, Don is an avid photographer and loves to document "events". I thank him for these photos.....

Joe and Jill visiting us when we spent a week in Traverse City in September of 2008.
We saw Jill and Joe last September (2009), when they stopped in Madison, to attend a Happy Hour, on their road trip out to visit their daughter Kim, who lives in Colorado.
Many, many happy memories.........
