My "cousin" Michele Serros passed away on January 4, 2015.
I put the word "cousin" in quotations because she wasn't really my cousin. I think Michele was a cousin of a first cousin's father. I never thought about actually figuring it out and I just rushed to "claim" Michele. I'm Mexican so I've been told I'm allowed to do that: claim a person is my cousin even though they aren't related to me by blood. If you knew Michele you would want to claim her too.
