15. What was the last thing that you cried about?
I just learned yesterday that my cousins (I'm related to the father Patsy who is my first cousin) who are around my sisters age, lost their son Pat (who was my second cousin) in a skiing accident two years ago. He was only 21yrs old. That was one of the saddest funerals I ever went to in my life. Anyway, my one sister talked to my uncle (the grandfather of the boy, father of my first cousin) and said that his son & daughter-in-law are still taking it so very hard. Even their daughter is taking it still so hard. To bury a child is unbearable. He told her that they go to the mauseleom where he is buried and they sit for *hours* there. They even pack a lunch so they can have lunch with him. So hearing this made me cry. I hate to know that they are going through this. He like Sonny Bono, lost control while he was skiing and he hit not one, but several trees. His friends that were with him called for help. He was still alive when they got there and was able to answer questions in one word answers like his name and who he was with. But he lost consciousness in the ambulance ride and died in the ambulance. So my cousins live with the fact that their son dies alone and how he died of a tragic accident. They still have up an article about it. If you would like to read it, it is here. It was just the two year anniversary the end of January.
16. Who is the friend you have had the longest?
My sister Jenny since I was born...36 and a half years. Also, my best friend Colleen for 31 and a half years. (We met in kindergarten).

17. What did you do last night?
My hubby and I went out to eat at Fuddruckers.

18. What are you most afraid of?
Someone I love dying. After losing my Mom at a young age, it is a constant fear of mine. Especially since there is such a big age difference between my siblings and myself. I'm the "baby".

19. In how many areas of your country have you lived?
I've always lived in New Jersey

20. What is your favorite flower?
Peach roses or gerber daisies

Why is it that every time Happy Gilmore or The Wedding Singer comes on that I have to watch it? Maybe it's because I love watching Bob Barker beat the crap out of him and I love the Wedding Singer because that was my time..the glorious mid-80's...I was a Duranie to the core!!
