Email from Barbara Minakakis to Carol Petranek, Dec. 18, 2014:
I do not know if I told you that my father's sister Mary, in the four years before she died, lost both her grown-up children to cancer, first her son Chris at 58 years old, then her daughter Tina just short of 58. They were my double first cousins; their father was my mother's brother Sam.
