(Not that it is all that important, but I am a little confused as to the decedent's relation to you. Was she your 1st cousin's daughter?)

Got it - She was your 1st cousin, once removed, and was your mothers 2nd cousin.

Very sorry for your loss. I am going to go home and hug my wife and kids.

She was my neice (my 1st cousin's daughter)...its like this:

My Mother <-> My Mother's Sister [REAL SISTERS]
=== |== ====== |=====
Me <-> My Cousin [1st COUSINS] ---> her daughter passed (so my niece)

or in other words: my Aunt's (mom's sister) Grand-daughter.

I won't argue with you during your time of grief.

My condolences to you and your family.

niece - a daughter of your brother or sister

She was my cousin sister's daughter.

PS: I dont have a brother or sister (only child of my parents), so I treat all my 1st cousins as my real brothers/sisters. I am the youngest in my family from my mother's side (everyone else is married except me...even some of my nephews/niece are married as they are about the same age as me). My cousin is in her 40s.

Ex:
A and B are real sisters.
A1 is me (A's Son)
B1 is my cousin (B's daughters)

B1's daughter was my niece :(
