Al and Louise, my grandma and grandpa. Al served in the US Army in WWI. He was English. My grandma was German. I understand she spoke German when she didn't want the kids to know what she was talking about.

Memorial Day 2009. A time to once again visit loved ones and remember them. They all lived through some really tough times. To thank them for what they contributed is not enough. We are proud of them and will never forget them. We celebrate their lives and commend them to God’s graces.
