29 years ago March 20 my cousin PJ died, unexpectedly and prematurely, leaving his beloved Marilla and their children Travis, Tim, and Caitlin behind. Hard to believe it's been that long.

for some reason I never remember Conor. Is he the one with the coffee-roasting business? Tim is the techie. Travis and Caitlin are both chefs, I think. Tim is one I've had a fair bit of conversation with, and has done family research. And he was here when Chris and Nick visited after Dorothy died. Marilla wanted to come, but Caitlin was in the hospital for bowel surgery and Travis had some kind of injury at the time, so she wanted to stay close to them, not drive hours away.

I close my eyes and see a pic of 4 adults in cap and gown surrounding their mom.

There might be a Declan O'Brien in the entertainment world. Name sounds vaguely familiar.

I don't think I saw a graduation of them.

Caitlin, from her pictures looks a lot like Avens, though it's hard to tell the color of her eyes in pictures. He appears to be a slim red-haired fair-skinned person with freckles and her eyes might be hazel like Avens has, and yours, and Lars' eyes.

And for some reason I remembered it as Declan, not Devin.
