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.

Looks like FOUR kids

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.

I assume it was a staged pic to commemorate getting all four through, for the youngest 's graduation. But don't know.

Probably. Avens is a photographer, but I've never had any particular skill at it; I've kept some family pictures-- Raganr and Nicole were looking through them on the 4th of July-- but I've never been one to have a lot of pictures of relatives, and I'm not usually sent any. I see some of Facebook.
