I could really use some good vibes,prayers,good thoughts right now

I received a call from my sister at 12:00 telling me that my cousin was found dead this morning by my aunt who tried waking him up this morning. He was not responsive and we are waiting for a coroners report as to the cause of death. He was a great kid, quiet, very shy and just very down to earth. I always connected with him at family get-togethers and I thought there were things we could discuss comfortably. His father died back in 2003 and he took it the hardest of all .What I understand was that he never got over it.

I'm waiting now to hear about funeral arrangements and not looking forward to it; I hate funerals, especially when they are for a 31 year old person.

I grew tired of funerals when it seemed like I went to way too many several years ago. I've been lucky to avoid any since then.

I hope you can find peace.

Weird thing is our family has never had a death this young an age, so I anticipate an extremely unpleasant experience here. I don't deal with funerals very well

Funerals are always hard but for young people even more difficult. They are for all of his loved ones to gather together to offer strength, my you find some when you gather.

I lost my cousin at 18 and this kind of thing is just so awful, too tragic for words. You were a good friend to him, so can be grateful for that. Hang in there and know that we're here for you and are sending all we've got...
