Our cousin died right before Christmas. We are a week apart in age and the ones with the creative bent. I always thought we could understand eachother. We didn't grow up close geographical but he was very imporant to me.

His wife just sent me an email and is sad. He was 38.

He served in the United States Navy on the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, and received several medals for wartime service in the Persian Gulf in the early 90's and she was very proud of who he was.

He lost his battle with alcoholism. And we lost him.

Please keep Jenny in his prayers. I've heard she is a great wife and was a good woman to him.

Thanks.

Understand alcoholism intimately.

May God be gracious to you, Lluvia, with cordials of peculiar comforts, as you cling to Him, both you and your cousin's wife, and all the family.

If there's anything...

I know a little about myself. She found him, so I really appreciate you all keeping her in your prayers for a while. She's a sweetie

God bless.
