Do you all remembe my post about my cousin's passing a little over a year ago?

My cousin Shelli passed away a year ago last February. I posted about it at the time. It was such a shock. She died on her 34th birthday. The autopsy wasn't conclusive and they've never been able to determine exactly why she died. She was about 6 months pregnant with her third child and died in her sleep one morning while she and her husband and children were on vacation in Florida.
We were always very close to Shelli and it has been so hard to let her go in the past year. Her husband called a few weeks ago and offered to bring their daughters down to KY to visit for a couple of weeks this summer. We were thrilled with the prospect of seeing the girls again. The girls have been here two weeks now and we called to see if their dad would let them stay one more week (he said yes!) so we'll have them next week too. Kelsey is now 8 years old and Audrey is now 5. They are infinitely precious young ladies and I thought I'd share a pic or two of them with you guys. (If I can remember the code, lol)

This is Kelsey

And this is Audrey

Yes, remember well, Keli. So sad. Kelsey and Audrey are prescious indeed, so darn cute. Thanks for sharing. Nice the yare able, and you are able to enjoy each others company.

Strange they never determined cause, I thought they always did.

They are too cute! They're lucky to have relatives who will let them visit. Enjoy them!

I thought they always did too Dan and actually the lack of a clear reason for her death has bothered me tremendously. The autopsy showed Shelli had some radical chemical imbalances going on and that is what stopped her heart but they weren't able to tell why this happened. And it must have happened pretty fast too because they were visiting with friends at the time and were spending the night at the friend's house. Apparently Shelli seemed fine the night before and they were all having a good time.
