FROM GRANDMA

I've been thinking about my grandma today, because its her birthday. My Grandma Lamoreaux, born Mabel Asay, was the mother of 12 children. She and all of her children lived to old age except a baby who died during the flu epidemic. All of her babies were born at home, which must have been a very hard thing for women to go through to bring new life into the world. My mother, Lela, was the second of her twelve children. Today, lets not only remember our veterans, but our ancestors who have gone before.
