This times a thousand....I feel fortunate to have lived as long as I have, and sometimes have taken that for granted.
I have had 2 people pass away recently that have made me stop and ponder mortality. (Not to the point of detriment) One was one of my good friends in the Credit industry who was as much a health conscious person as I have ever seen..(made Big Daddy seem mild). He passed away from a Brain aneurysm at 53....he was just one month younger than me.
The other was my Sis-in-Law who died of a massive heart attack one week after turning 56. Her mother found her slumped over in her condo when she went to check on her.
Life truly is fragile....and I admire those who know that, and still live life with dignity and grace. It appears that your wife's cousin was one of those people.
