too young

You all know that there are 21 of us Geniza cousins. But our parents have cousins that are their age which makes their children our nieces and nephews, I think. Anyway, we actually call them the "Mira Mesa" cousins because they all live there and don't have one common last name. We don't see these cousins too often, but today we will never see one of them again.

Our niece/cousin Kara Franco was killed instantly in a car accident today around 1pm. She had just become a registered nurse and was only 24 years old. Since she's the same age as Kristy and Missy and Jason, they were all friends with her. I can't believe our family has lost another loved one.

The wind has been knocked out of me....
