I remember going to visit Aunt Jo and Uncle Paul when I was growing up when Grandma and Grandpa Dague, and Uncle Walter came out to visit.



I still have the pictures we took while we were there.



A little mini family reunion just not in Pennsyvania.



You are all very blest to have your mom and grandmother with you for so many years.



I'm sure my mom (Cathy) was waiting for her when she went into Heaven.
