Two weekends ago I went to one of my cousin's wedding reception in Raymond. I had a great time visiting with my extended family. I particularly like to joke around with my Dad's brothers and it's always a good time when ever they get together.

It looks like the family will be headed back to Raymond for the funeral of another cousin this Friday. It's such a stark contrast in seeing everyone at a happy event such as a wedding compared with such a sad one.

She was one of my older cousins, and as such I didn't know her that well. As for how she died, I'm not too sure of the details. I understand she was in the hospital and not doing too well for a couple weeks now but other than that I don't know much.
