More sad news.
I am sorry to have to say this at this time but I promised I would keep you all updated. I am sorry to say that my cousin that I told you all about passed away today also. Now I say to myself what I said to Sheila....Anyway, he had a very good and a long life. A life full of many accomplishments and a wealth of experiences. So today the butterfly emerges from the cocoon and into the next existence. Friday at the gravesite I know the words of the angel will give me comfort. San Lucas 24:5... "¿por qué buscáis entre los muertos al que vive?" "why seek ye the living among the dead? "Gracias a todos.

We are all sorry to hear this, billy. I hope all his family is well, have our deepest sympathy.
To die is not worth to be scared if we have had a lot of meaningful things in life. To die is worth to be afraid if we have not done anything that makes us proud.
A dead person can't give back to us. However, what makes we think about him or her? Do we still remember any memories about that person? Is he or she very necessary in our life? What did he or she used to do when living in life? Are his or her images still in our head? Do we think that we won't forget him or her after many years or we just remember that person at this time?
Here I give you this song Unchained Melody and I hope you are willing to enjoy it or listen to it again.
If that person is in our love, he or she is always with us. And above all, we can live better whenever thinking of him or her. Our life looks like a song where the loss is a part which can't be absent.
I'm sorry to hear your news Billy. I'm glad to hear that your faith and the prayers of others are of some comfort , and that your cousin had a long and good life with his family and friends.
also my condolences.. I am sorry to hear that about your cousin. I am sure you have many cherished special memories.
My deepest condolences, Billy. May the memories of your cousin be a consolation to you and his family.
Poquito triste pero la felicidad es más. Don't be sad but enjoy the memories it is one of the best gifts. I did not hear previously about your cousin but if your cousin is anything like me I'd prefer to be remembered for the warm happy, if not even funny things that you think back and remember. When I die and if people remember me I want them to crack a big ol' smile and even laugh out loud about memories of me with them. the only tears I want to see are tears from laughing so hard from the great memories we've had. This is what I think of about the loved ones Ive lost, I can't help but smile when I think of them.... 
I too share your grief. All too often we look at "birth life death" as three seperate stages instead of as a continuation of life, changing and moving from one stage to another .Birth and death are the same for you cannot have one without the other. Everything is impermanent ,but mere words cannot help in time of grief only the knowlege that we are not alone may lighten our saddness.
