I was so surprised to see her husband's grave there, but she is buried in New Orleans (where she moved to live near her son.) It looks kind of sad to have the other side blank (her name was not added at the time of his death, but there is one of those sentimental "Together forever" cheruby things on it.<br /><br />Elephant's Child -<br /><br />Thank you - I just wanted to make this a tribute of sorts - she was such a wonderful lady.

Then he had a falling out with one of his brothers, so he decided to buy a new plot in a different cemetery, and now he's buried there. There's still a stone on the other, empty plot, with his birth date and no death date. My husband thinks that people will walk past the spot many years from now and wonder how this ancient gentleman could possibly still be alive!Sparkling Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799366562472325812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-16381539536747792152016-04-15T15:41:06.664-04:002016-04-15T15:41:06.664-04:00Thanks, lg!

I think she would have retired when she was 65 years old - so around 1972. <br /><br />Debra -<br /><br />Thank you - she would have done the same for me. I feel terribly guilty that I've never visited her grave until now.

I feel better." Lovely post (here) Lynn! I, too, am nostalgic for the past and so wish things like "I wish I would have known my Grandma Mable (when she was a women in her 20's.)" She was a "flapper" (I have learned this from my Aunt and Mother...and I have never seen a photo of her in her 'dancing get-up.' God~ I would have loved this! apparently, she 'danced' as a young women. I so appreciated your post and could 'see' your aunt tooling around Paris...in a beautiful and stylish outfit...Karen ;-) Great post!
