My Cousin that I invited to wikitree last year passed away last November. I am curious what will happen to all her profiles. I just hope they don't become orphaned.  I will take them if necessary.   Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm also sorry for your loss.

Just wanted to encourage you -- I recently went through the same thing and I was able to become the PM for all the "orphaned" profiles. The process went smoothly and I'm happy because so much was able to be saved and I can continue to work on the profiles for my lost cousin.
Thank you very much.  Barbara and I talked on the phone at least twice a week and sometimes every day for the past 14 years.  I met her from a post about our family tree on ancesry.com back in 2003 and we talked every since... she was my 1st cousin  1x removed,  so many times I still want to call her and now I can not.  I appreciate your kind words.
