My heart goes out to you and your family and know that you are in our thoughts.
My husband lost his brother in a car accident 19 years ago, just after we were married. The pain lessens, but we never forget.
Though I've lived in Washington State 32 years, I grew up in southeastern Mass. and still have family back there and continue to read online local SE MAss newspapers.
I perused the article and must admit that after I read it, I felt a shiver up my spine. Though I didn't know your husband's cousin, I know the driver of the truck. He graduated from high school with me in 1974 and I hadn't seen nor heard of him since. Once again I'm reminded that we're all connected to one another in some way. Though I felt your pain after reading your posting on the disboards, this made it more real.
