Just need some hugs...

I just received news that my older cousin who lives in Roma, Italy...Gianfranco... passed away of a heart attack. He was maybe 60 or a bit older. His 2 children are both around my age and we have always stayed very close over the years. (I had such a horrible time when my father died in 04 so I am just worried about them). They visited here many times while I was growing up. I just sent three invitations to my wedding out to them yesterday. He was such a nice man and full of life and very active and he just died of a heart attack while at the school where he teaches. He is like my grandmothers brother, bc all her family passed away when she was very young and they grew up together in Italy, and she stays with him every summer when she visits, and she is just... absolutely devastated. My family is having a tough time with this news. Please pray for his children and the rest of my family. Sorry to blab on. I dont usually come on here w/ sad or really personal stuff like this but Im a little in shock and knew you ladies would say some prayers and give some needed hugs.
