We lost 2 family members this past 2 weeks. My cousin, Gina, who resides in Wolverhampton, England, passed away on Saturday, January 19th from an apparently quite aggressive brain tumor. Scary stuff this because my sister, Adrienne Rae Bolsover (love you!) also died of a brain tumor almost 11 years ago. Are brain tumors hereditary? Do I have to worry everytime I have a headache? I was told that Gina had a nasty headache every day for months and was keeping the ibuprofen business in business. The reason(s) why she didn't see a doctor until the tumor presented itself with a seizure and incoherence has died with her.
My grandather, my father's father, Fletcher Ray Bolsover Sr, passed away on Sunday, January 20th. Bless him, he was 96! His favorite saying: "Ain't that something." No matter what you told him, his response was, "Ain't that something." I can picture him sitting at his kitchen table in the house he and my grandmother lived in for over 50 years, coffee cup on the table in front of him, just looking out the window and letting Gramma spoil him. Oh, did Gramma spoil him!
And so my heavenly angels are becoming more and more: both sets of grandparents (Eric and Frances, Fletcher and Maxine); my beloved sister, Adrienne; my beautiful cousin, Gina; and the greatest cat in the world, Twoface! I miss them all.

you know they are all in heaven wathing over you saying ain't that something.
I think I knew your sister, briefly, a little over 20 years ago. She occasionally hung out with my friend Julia in Chicago and Ann Arbor?
She made such an impression on me, that here I am searching her and wondering what ever happened with her all these years later.
She was one of a kind, and really, really warm. My condolences and best to you and yours.
